SummaryThe Indian rainfall has often been used as a proxy data for the Asian monsoon as a whole for understanding the energy budget of the major circulation features and also used as an input parameter in estimating the other regional parameters. In view of this, a long homogeneous rainfall series of All-India (India taken as one unit) has been prepared based on a fixed and well distributed network of 306 raingauge stations over India by giving proper area-weightage. This paper contains a…

New monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall time series of 36 meteorological subdivisions of India were constructed using the monthly rainfall data for the period 1901–2003 of fixed network of 1476…
Intra-seasonal, inter-annual and decadal scale variability in summer monsoon rainfall over India
Using daily rainfall data for the 30-year period of 1960-1989 and following an objective criterion, the pre-active, active and post-active phases of the summer monsoon (June-September) rainfall are…
New spatial and temporal indices of Indian summer monsoon rainfall
The overall yearly seasonal performance of Indian southwest monsoon rainfall (ISMR) for the whole Indian land mass is presently expressed by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) by a single…
Anomalous changes in summer monsoon rainfall and crop yields over India
The variability in summer monsoon rainfall along with the summer maximum and winter minimum temperatures are studied with reference to the global tele-connections of ENSO for a period of 1871 to 2004…
Possible teleconnections of winter rainfall in southern Brazil with Indian monsoon activity
SummaryThree homogeneous subregions of rainfall anomaly are identified in southern Brazil from the precipitation data for the months of June to September for the period 1960–1993. The area average…
The Interannual variability of rainfall over homogeneous regions of Indian summer monsoon
The Indian subcontinent, due to its enormous variety of geographical features, is associated with inhomogeneity. Hence, in the present study, we have classified the whole Indian subcontinent into…
Comparative Study of Monsoon Rainfall Variability over India and the Odisha State
Indian summer monsoon (ISM) plays an important role in the weather and climate system over India. The rainfall during monsoon season controls many sectors from agriculture, food, energy, and water,…

Vagaries of Indian monsoon rainfall and its relation- ships with regional/global circulations
Attempts have been made to understand the behaviour of the monsoon rains for which excellent data sets are available covering the period of 1871-1988. There are two discontinuities (sudden or abrupt…
Some Features of a Long Homogeneous Series of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall
Abstract A long rainfall series for the contiguous Indian region for the summer monsoon season (June-September), when more than 75% of the annual rainfall occurs over large parts of the country, has…
Macro‐regional definition and characteristics of Indian summer monsoon rainfall, 1871–1985
A case is made for regional-scale Indian summer monsoon rainfall data and analysis, intermediate between the widely used all-India and meteorological subdivision data sets. Macro-regional units are…

Variations in meteorological floods during summer monsoon over India
In this study, rainfall data of 31 mteorological sub-divisioins in India for 113 years (1875-1987) have been used to develop a flood index and statistical properties of the Index are discussed.…
