Hindustantimes: Underwater robotic buoys in the Bay of Bengal. A rain-chasing aircraft. A research ship due to set sail on June 24 for the seas off Chennai. When India's moody monsoon gets active, so do teams of international weather scientists, drawn to one of the world's most enigmatic weather patterns. A 8-million British project, aimed at more accurate prediction of the monsoon, is the latest one about to take off. But it's not the only one. Thanks to climate-change research, the Indian monsoon is...

Shifting monsoons to hit tea crops, researchers warn
2016-04-25 08:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Slow changes in the annual monsoon season may be reducing yields in one of the worlds most important crops and gradually watering down the tea in China. Scientists in the US have used a new approach to examine harvests of Camellia sinensis the evergreen bush whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea - in southern Yunnan and other regions of China, and have identified a decline that could only be linked to the retreat of the monsoon, along with greater levels of downpour. That...

New model emerges for monsoons in a changing global climate
2016-01-26 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A Yale University study suggests that continent-scale monsoons will adapt to climate change gradually, without suddenly losing their watery oomph. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of Jan. 25, 2016 Yale atmospheric scientists William Boos and Trude Storelvmo say a broad range of factors -- from changes in land use to increased aerosol emissions and greenhouse gas concentrations -- would likely prompt changes in the massive air circulations commonly known...

Auto sales stagnate in June, eye monsoons
2015-07-06 09:57:19| Auto Dealers - Topix.net
The domestic passenger vehicle industry endured a sluggish month in June as most major manufacturers barring Tata Motors and Honda either posted a decline in sales or single-digit growth. Market leader Maruti Suzuki, which had been outpacing the industry and growing in double digits in the last few months, reported a mere 1.65% growth in June compared to the same month last year.

BBC: Fossils from the ocean floor are yielding clues to the Indian monsoon millions of years ago. Samples drilled from beneath the Indian Ocean are being used to reconstruct past rainfall and temperature records. Scientists are studying how the Indian monsoon behaved in the past, to shed light on the impact of climate change. The research will lead to a better understanding of how the monsoon over India might change, said Dr Kate Littler of the University of Exeter. As part of the larger-scale...
