This seasonal rainfall is key for the country&#8217;s agriculture and thus for feeding 1 billion people. As erratic as they are, volcanic eruptions improve the predictability, an Indian-German research team finds. What seems to be a paradox is, in fact, due to a stronger coupling between the monsoon over large parts of South and South-East Asia and the El Ni\u00f1o phenomenon after an eruption. Combining data from meteorological observations, climate records, computer model simulations and such geological archives as tree-rings, corals and ice-cores from past millennia of Earth history, the researchers found that a synchronization of the monsoon with the strongest mode of natural climate variability, El Ni\u00f1o, makes it easier to anticipate the strength of seasonal rainfall in the Indian subcontinent.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-09-indian-monsoon-volcanic-eruptions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Indian monsoon can be predicted better after volcanic eruptions<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large volcanic eruptions can help to forecast monsoons over India.
