Abstract

Over the past few years the Indian summer monsoon has shown large abnormalities, perhaps, more than that observed in any period on the same time-scale. The decadal scale mean rainfall has been continually decreasing since the decade of 1940s. The variability ofmof1soon rainfall, expressed in terms of its coefficient of variation, has been relatively larger in the last 3 decades. The paper mainly discusses the large-scale behavior of recent monsoons during 1982-88. In particular, the ENSO-monsoon-linkages vis-à-vis   the recent ENSO episodes of 1982-83 and 1986-87 are emphasised.
