Comparison of single-forcing varieties of 20th century historical experiments in a subset of models from the Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) reveals that South Asian summer monsoon rainfall increases towards the present day in Greenhouse Gas (GHG)-only experiments with respect to pre-industrial levels, while it decreases in anthropogenic aerosol-only experiments. Comparison ...

the spatial and temporal distribution of heavy metals in water, sediment and fish (dry weight basis) of buriganga river, bangladesh were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. in water concentration of pb, cd, ni, cu and cr varied seasonally and spatially from 58.17 to 72.45î¼g/l, 7.08 to 12.33î¼g/l, 7.15 to 10.32î¼g/l, 107.38 to 201.29î¼g/l and 489.27 to 645.26î¼g/l, respectively. ...

Prediction of the active (rainy) and break (dry) phases of the Indian summer monsoon intraseasonal oscillations (ISO’s) two to threeweeks in advance is of great importance for food production and water management of the country, but is currently unavailable. Potential predictability inherent in the quasi-periodic nature of the monsoon ISO’s is estimated from daily rainfall and circulation data ...

Sea-breeze-initiated convection and precipitation have been investigated along the east coast of India during the Indian southwest monsoon season. Seabreeze circulation was observed on approximately 70–80% of days during the summer months (June–August) along the Chennai coast. Average sea-breeze wind speeds are greater at rural locations than in the urban region of Chennai. Sea-breeze circulati...

A signi cant portion of the world's population is under the in uence of monsoon changes. Understanding of physical processes governing the evolution of Asian monsoon is not only important for regional climate variation, but also crucial to global climate variation. Besides bringing rain to land, monsoons also change ocean currents, ocean upwelling, and coastal ecology. Over land the consequence...

Identification of climatic indices are vital in essence of their ability to characterize different climatic events. We focus on discovery of climatic indices important for Indian summer monsoon from climatic parameters surface pressure and zonal wind velocity. We use climatic network based community detection approach for discovery of climatic indices. New indices depict better correlation with...

The percentage of organic carbon contents of 62 bottom sediments in Pahang riverestuary were analyzed using the wet dichromate oxidation method. The sediments particle sizes at the same stations were also measured using the dry sieving and laser diffraction methods. In this study, the concentrations of organic carbon are relatively higher during pre-monsoon season and become much lower during t...
