An Exploratory Analysis of an Eigenvector-Based Reconstruction Model for the Southwest Monsoon Precipitation Records of the Indian Subcontinent.

Abstract

A 53 station southwest monsoon precipitation record for all Julys, 1921-1960, is cube rooted, normalized and subjected to an eigenvector analysis to resolve the spatial pattern of precipitation. The first four eigenvectors, accounting for 44% of the variance, best portray the macroscale pattern of the July monsoon with an apparent minimum amount of interference from local effects. (Author)
