Indian monsoon can be predicted better after volcanic eruptions, says research

Combining data from meteorological observations, climate records, computer model simulations, and paleoclimate archives such as tree-rings, corals, cave deposits and ice-cores from past millennia of Earth history, the researchers found that a synchronization of the monsoon with the strongest mode of natural climate variability, the El Niño, makes it easier to anticipate the strength of seasonal rainfall in the Indian subcontinent. "The tiny particles and gases that large volcano blasts into the air enter into the stratosphere and remain there for a few years. While the volcanic matter in the stratosphere to some extent blocks sunshine from reaching the Earth’s surface, the reduced solar forcing increases the probability of an El Niño event in the next year," said R Krishnan from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune. The findings have been published in Science Advances under the title "Fingerprint of Volcanic Forcing on the ENSO-Indian Monsoon Coupling".
