Abstract:
We will be investigating the robustness of the changes in the mean monsoon precipitation and circulation in the perturbed vs. control integrations, and we will assess the relationship between ENSO and monsoon at interannual and decadal timescales in the suite of models. Additionally, we will examine the changes to the statistical properties of sub-seasonal variability such as (a) monsoon lows and depressions, and (b) 10-20 days and 30-50 days intraseasonal oscillations over the Asian monsoon region. We require monthly and daily variables of outgoing longwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere (OLR), precipitation, SST, 850 and 200hPa winds.
