Features of Indian Monsoon:

1Periodic/Seasonal winds – Winds that blow direction i) Winds

SW Monsoon – bring it in summer season (June-May)

NE Monsoon – Monsoon spread (329) & Rainfall

2Precipitation in timing of onset and with drawl of monsoons – First hit Kasala lead around May 2nd week.

3Monsoon break – led to days break in precipitation

4Temporal and spaced variability – Change from time to time and space to space

5Global teleconnection – ALMINO, which shall see ahead.

Causative factors of monsoons:

1Thermal heat gradient – leads to inter-tropical low pressure area

2High pressure over Mascarene – Westerlies over lower latitudes in summer

3Subtropical westerly jet stream also shifts north of Himalayas in summer development of ITC established

4Global teleconnection – leads to promise of AE-Nino, La Nina → leads to pronounce declines in Indian Ocean → lower should of Mascarene high, weaker monsoons.

5Indian Clear Dipole Temptation difference between Eastern and Western – positive → more monsoon. Thus, Indian monsoon is highly variable, even determined largely by geographic factors, The altimeter effect system also help with all cut local products upto 6 km elevation.
