Understanding the Global Distribution of Monsoon Depressions

Abstract

This project aims to improve the understanding of cyclonic storms called monsoon depressions, which play an important role in the meteorology of the tropical and subtropical eastern hemisphere and serve as precursors for typhoons in the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans. The work undertaken here serves as part of a broader effort to better understand and predict tropical cyclogenesis and the variability of monsoon climates in Asia, Australia, Africa, and the Americas.
