Thus, paleodata in which strong variation in monsoon rainfall have been recorded can not be explained by the bistable regime because these recordings show monsoon changes over several years, decades, or even centuries.

The resulting governing equation exhibits the necessary solution structure to explain qualitatively both strong, persistent changes in monsoon rainfall, as observed in paleorecords, and abrupt variablity within one rainy season.

Given this large uncertainty in the future forcing of monsoons, it is crucial to understand internal monsoon dynamics, especially with respect to self - amplifying feedbacks, which might result in potentially strong responses to small perturbations.

The main dynamical driver of the monsoon is therefore the positive moisture - advection feedback (Fig. 1 A): The release of latent heat from precipitation over land adds to the temperature difference between land and ocean, thus driving stronger winds from ocean to land and increasing in this way landward advection of moisture, which leads to enhanced precipitation and associated release of latent heat.

Their results highlight the possibility of a strong precipitation reduction in the northern edge of the monsoon in response to warming, with consequences for regional water resources, agriculture and ecosystems.

Following a minimalistic philosophy, the model comprises the necessary processes for a positive feedback and thereby demonstrates the possibility of an abrupt transition of monsoon circulations from a state with strong rainfall to a weak precipitation state.

She found high levels of DCM (PDF), especially over the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and particularly during the Asian monsoon season, when strong updrafts fast - track air from the ground to the stratosphere.

For example, the northern East Asian summer monsoon (NEASM) is, for the years of highest SST anomalies in the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP), affected by the Pacific - East Asian (PEA) teleconnection pattern, which consists of a wave creating an anomalously strong western North Pacific (WNP) anticyclonic circulation and anomalously strong cyclonic circulation in the NEASM region, creating more monsoon rainfall.

15, Cassou et al. (16) argue that the anomalously warm June 2003 in western Europe could be related to wetter - than - average conditions in the Caribbean that triggered the occurrence of a Rossby wave train pattern stretching from the Caribbean across the Atlantic, whereas the anomalous August 2003 could be associated with a summer NAO - like pattern and enhanced monsoon over the Sahel, which might have been compensated dynamically by anomalously strong downdrafts over Europe.
