How does ENSO induces decreased Indian summer monsoon Prec.?
Current paradigm:
Large scale circulation changes associated with ENSO introduces inhibition for organized convection over Indian region.
Here, we discover, that ENSO can also induce decreased monsoon rainfall through another mechanism!
Eastward shift of the Walker Circ. With +ve ENSO
Decreased low level divergence over the eastern Equatorial IO.
Increased convection over the Equatorial IO.
Increased subsidence over continental India.
Decreased monsoon rainfall over India.

Implicit in all these is an assumption (blindly!) that the ‘Indian summer monsoon season’ is of fixed duration!
The ‘Indian summer monsoon’ is a physical phenomenon driven by large scale heating gradients that vary in intensity and duration from year to year. Therefore, the actual length of the physical monsoon season may vary from year to year.
Thus, there is another degree of freedom , namely the length of the rainy season (LRS) that may influence the ENSO-Monsoon relationship.
There is great need for an objective definition to delineate the Indian summer monsoon SEASON.

•Many monsoon ‘Onset’ over Kerala (MOK) take place much before June 1 and ‘Withdrawal’ from Kerala also takes place after September 30.
•Monsoon rain from spells before June 1 and after Sept. 30 are traditionally not included in the Seasonal mean (JJAS) rainfall!
•Could influence the interannual variability of Indian summer monsoon rainfall!
•All teleconnections studied so far with JJAS rainfall (e.g. ENSO-monsoon, monsoon-snow etc) may be completely misleading of physical relationships!
![Page 10: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Define Indian summer monsoon rainy season
Traditionally the Indian summer monsoon season is defined as between June 1 and September 30 (for convenience!).
What really delineates the Indian Summer Monsoon (rainy) Season?
Physically, the rainy season is delineated by Monsoon ‘Onset’ over Kerala and ‘Withdrawal’ from the southern tip (say 10N).
onset
withdraw
TCZ
![Page 11: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Whatever controls the MOK and ‘withdrawal’ of Monsoon from southern tip of India (~10oN) , therefore, determines the length of the Indian summer monsoon season or the Length of the Raining Season (LRS).
Thus, if we can agree upon an objective definition of MOK and withdrawal of monsoon from the southern tip, we can define LRS or the Monsoon Season.
Can we use existing definitions of MOK and withdrawal?
Almost all existing definitions of MOK or withdrawal are not physically based and require a ‘magic’ threshold on precipitation and/or low level wind shear! Unsatisfactory.
To our knowledge, nobody has attempted to define the Monsoon Season objectively using the physical driving that determine the onset and withdrawal!
![Page 12: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Summary of some past definitions:
Ananthakrishnan et al. (1968, J. Climatol. 8, 283-296; 1983, Curr. Sci. 52, 155-164)
Precipitation based for MOK . Transition to sustained heavy rainfall. Based on 70+ raingauge stations over Kerala. Onset is the date when transition from light to heavy rainfall takes place that is sustained for more than 5 days above a threshold of 10 mm/day.
MOK by IMD
Rainfall criterion like Ananthakrishnan et al. but combined with subjective judgment of forecasters. This includes increase in K.E of the Low Level Jet (LLJ) , low level westerly shear etc.
Wang and LinHO 2002, J. Climate, 15, 386-398
Again introduces a rainfall threshold but introduces the seasonality
RRi = Ri - RJan
Where, RRi is the relative pentad mean rainfall. This measured as specific pentad mean Ri relative to winter mean RJan..
The threshold used is 5 mm/day. They show that this criterion may be useful in defining the ‘onset’ and ‘withdrawal’ of monsoon over south as well as east Asia.
![Page 13: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Wang and LinHo 2002, J.Climate, 15, 386-398
withdrawal from s. India is too late! Not appropriate for defining ISM season. Because, the rainfall criterion can not distinguish summer and winter monsoon rainfall.
![Page 14: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fasullo and Webster, 2003, J.Climate, 16, 3200-3211
Vertically integrated moisture transport
HOWI:
withdrawal too early! Again can not be used to define ISM season.
![Page 15: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
He et al. 2003, J. Meteorol. Soc. Japan, 81, 1201-1223.
Define monsoon ‘onset’ in terms of change in sign of meridional gradient of upper tropospheric temperature (200 hPa-500 hPa)
Reg.B <17.5N-25.5N,70-80E>
Probably the most physically based definition.
![Page 16: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
All these definitions (except that of He et al. 2003) are based on some criterion related to rainfall and not based on the physical processes that drive the MOK and ‘withdrawal’.
Here, we propose to define the rainy season based on the physical process that drives the Indian summer monsoon.
To do this we have to start with asking…
What drives the Indian summer monsoon?

What drives Indian summer monsoon is not north-south contrast of surface temperature but the meridional gradient of Tropospheric Heating!
![Page 23: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Another element of the onset puzzle:

Associated with an instability.
Hypothesis:
Symmetric intertial instability is responsible for it.

If perturbation is in slantwise path (rather than vertical or horizontal), if the mean wind is in x-direction and in thermal wind balance, stability of such motion depends on relative slope of potential temperature Θ-surface and M surface. The resulting circulation is symmetric when viewed along dir. Basic flow.

Events that lead to the Indian summer monsoon ‘Onset’ (MOK)
Surface heating (land-ocean contrast) during pre-monsoon season produces cross-equatorial flow near the surface but is capped by subsidence and a southward flow above the PBL.
Builds up potential convective instability, but can not be realized.
When tropospheric heating gradient changes sign, primarily due to the influence of the Tibetan Plateau heating, cross equatorial flow
and a large scale cyclonic vorticity above the PBL is set up.
Zero absolute vorticity line at 850 hPa moves north to about 5N and conditions for dry symmetric inertial instability as well as
conditional moist inertial instability is established.
Dry inertial instability overcomes the inhibition of subsidence, moist inertial instability takes over and explosive organized
convection takes place.
Onset has arrived!

How does the ENSO SST controls the LRS?
During positive ENSO phase (El Nino), SST results in positive P anom over central and eastern Pacific and negative P anom over western Pacific and maritime continent.
Atmospheric response to this tropical heating anomaly results in negative TT anomaly to the north and positive TT anomaly to the south over the south Asian monsoon region during northern summer
Results in delayed Onset and early Withdrawal, reduced LRS. Reduced seasonal rainfall!

Time series of JJAS Nino3 SST (blue) and LRS (yellow). Trend in the two time series are shown.
Even on decadal time scale a consistent relationship is seen. The increasing trend of Nino3 SST is associated with a decreasing trend of the LRS.

JJAS AIR & Nino3 SST
LRS & Nino4 SST
How do we reconcile these two apparently contradictory results?
![Page 61: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Part of the problem is due to restricting the season to JJAS in defining AIR!
We claim that if the ‘actual’ monsoon season rainfall is taken each year, the decreasing AIR-Nino3 SST relationship would disappear!
To test this hypothesis, we would need to reconstruct AIR using LRS. Daily AIR data for long period is needed. Pending this, we test the hypothesis using NCEP Reanalysis precipitation.
Construct AIR (P ave <70-100E, 10-30N) with JJAS and LRS.

21-year moving window correlation between JJAS Nino3 SST , JJAS NCEP reanalysis precipitation averaged <70E-100E,10N-30N> and NCEP reanalysis precipitation averaged <70E-100E,10N-30N> averaged over LRS of each year from 1950 to 2002.

Recall that the total seasonal rainfall is not only affected by LRS but it can also be influenced by the PDF of the rains spells. This part is governed by ‘internal dynamics’.
Therefore, the total seasonal rainfall and ENSO SST can still have slightly different relationship that that with LRS and ENSO SST due to the contribution of ‘internal dynamics’.
![Page 64: B. N. Goswami & Prince K. Xavier Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815a72550346895dc7d707/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Conclusions:
A physically based method has been described to define the Indian summer monsoon rainy reason.
A robust mechanism through which ENSO influence Indian summer monsoon rainfall is discovered. El Nino (La Nina) reduce (increase) monsoon season rainfall by shrinking (expanding) the rainy season thus encompassing more or less rain spells.
In contrast to JJAS AIR & Nino3 (or Nino4) SST relationship, the LRS & Nino3 (or Nino4) SST relationship has remained steady over the years.
We believe that the primary mechanism through which ENSO influence Indian monsoon rainfall is through LRS which has remained strong. The apparent weakening ENSO-monsoon relationship based on JJAS AIR is likely to be largely due to ‘fixed season’ rainfall in AIR.
Strong need to reconstruct AIR based on LRS and re-examination of all teleconnections are indicated.
