July Drought in India

Indian Precipitation: summer totals Source: K. Rupa Kumar & J.V. RevadekarMonsoon Online: Rainfall for the period 1 June to 30 Sept., 2002

All-India Precipitation: seasonal evolution Source: K. Rupa Kumar & J.V. Revadekar Daily total (mm)Daily accumulation

Start of El Niño in the Pacific Niño 3.4 Index for JJA Niño 3.4 area: 170W-120W, 5N-5S

Theoretical? Historical correlation of interannual variability? Could there be a link between these events?

Monsoon / Mediterranean link Idealised modelling: Rodwell & Hoskins (1996) Mid-level descent ω(477hPa)Pressure, wind (325K) Full model: global heating and orography Idealised monsoon heating (25°N), no orography Idealised monsoon heating (10°N), no orography Obs. JJA ω(477hPa)

Rodwell & Hoskins (1996) continued… Seasonal evolution of Mediterranean descent, 22:42°N, 8-37°E 477hPa ω from ECMWF analyses, 1994

All-India rainfall index, NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis ω at 500hPa, global Interannual variability is correlated Indian monsoon rainfall and Southern European Descent (JJA)

NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis ω 35:45°N 0:30°E Correlation coefficient 0.39 ( ) Higher correlation by crudely including a Pacific SST index But no correlation of AIR with European rainfall Indian monsoon rainfall and Southern European Descent (July)

Correlations between:. N34 AIR w500 CRU N AIR w500 – CRU July Niño 3.4 SST All India rainfall w500 S. Europe [35-45N,0-30E] CRU Precipitation S.Europe - All time-series detrended - All-India rainfall and S. European descent July (not detrended)

Conclusions Multiple influences on S. European summer variability Theoretical and weak historical link to Indian monsoon Importance of European blocking Experimentation needed to determine causality for a single event/season: idealised model with prescribed tropical forcing GCM with realistic variability & teleconnections? Extreme events: large signals stochastic component of precipitation
