Abstract

The present investigation examines the variations in the cloudiness over the southern hemipheric equatorial trough during the Indian summer monsoon vis-à-vis importance in foreshadowing the monsoon activity over the Indian sub-continent.

The near forty-day mode and its potentialities and limitations as a predictor for medium range forecasting are also examined. It has been shown that a continuous monitoring of the SHET cloudiness during the summer monsoon season could be a useful guide for medium range forecasting of rainfall over certain parts of the Indian sub-continent.
