Relationships between Indian summer monsoon rainfall and ice cover over selected oceanic regions
The variations in oceanic ice cover at selected polar regions during 1973 to 1987 have been analysed in relation to the seasonal Indian summer monsoon rainfall. The ice cover over the Arctic regions in June has negative relationship (correlation coefficient -0.53, significant at 5% level) with the I...

| Summary: | The variations in oceanic ice cover at selected polar regions during 1973 to 1987 have been analysed in relation to the seasonal Indian summer monsoon rainfall. The ice cover over the Arctic regions in June has negative relationship (correlation coefficient -0.53, significant at 5% level) with the Indian rainfall from June to September. Ice cover over the Barents Sea during January to June shows a negative relationship with the Indian rainfall, the correlation coefficient remaining above 0.5 throughout the period. Ice covers over two sectors of the Antarctic region in February have positive relationships with the subsequent Indian rainfall |
