Nature World: A new study has found that pollutant emissions produced by human activity has been causing the world's total annual monsoon rainfall to decline over the past five decades. And while that may be good news for some flood-prone regions, experts do not doubt that it has had a significant adverse impact on delicate ecologies. That's all according to a study recently published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "This study shows for the first time that the drying of the monsoon over the...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted an increase in the duration of monsoon by 10 days and an increase in rainfall intensity by 10 per cent by the end of this century, said Dr. Bala, who is faculty with the IISc.s Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. He was delivering...

Indian Monsoons Affected by Dust Heating the Air in Africa
2014-03-18 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Dust generated in North and West Africa can have a big impact on monsoons in India, according to new research published in Nature Geoscience. Phil Rasch of the US Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory carried out the research with his colleagues, finding that as dust in the air absorbs sunlight west of India, it warms the air and strengthens the winds that carry moisture eastward. This results in more intense monsoon rainfall in India about a week later, according to the...

New York Times: The seasonal rains called monsoons matter enormously to human affairs, from the Indian subcontinent to the American Southwest. Getting a better understanding of the forces that will shape these features of the climate system in coming decades is a big research priority, but also a very tough challenge given the many factors in play.
