Abstract

In this study teleconnections between monthly northern hemisphere lower stratospheric geopotential heights (100, 50, 30 hPa) and seasonal Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) have been established through the correlation analysis. Stable and consistent precursory signals for the ensuing monsoon were identified from the significant teleconnections. The usefulness of the precursory signals for the prediction of ISMR was also tested using a simple multiple linear regression model. These precursory signals show a good potential in the long range prediction scheme of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall.
