2. Forecast of Monsoon Onset over Kerala
Based on 16 May 2013: 29 May 2013
Onset declared by IMD: 1st June 2013
Onset date forecasts are obtained from each 11 member of CFSv2 45 day forecast. Then ensemble mean is given as the final forecasted onset date.
Y axis on each panel is in mm/day for rainfall (bars) and m/s for 850hPa wind(green line). Red circle is the onset date and also written at the top of each panel
