Summary
The statistical technique used for seasonal forecasting of monsoon rainfall over India has been closely examined in the light of recent studies on climatic teleconnections. Such an analysis provides a potential for seasonal foreshadowing of large-scale atmospheric behaviour in tropics.
Zusammenfassung
Die für jahreszeitliche Vorhersagen des Monsunregens in Indien angewendete statistische Technik wird im Lichte neuer Untersuchungen klimatischer Fernbeziehungen überprüft. Eine derartige Analyse gewährt die Möglichkeit für jahreszeitliche Vorhersagen des großräumigen atmosphärischen Verhaltens in den Tropen.
