Open AccessImportance of internal variability for climate model assessment
Benchmarking climate model simulations against observations of the climate is core to the process of building realistic climate models and develo** accurate future projections. However, in many cases, models...

Historical and projected low-frequency variability in the Somali Jet and Indian Summer Monsoon
Using reanalysis data and observations, interannual variations and long-term trends in the Somali Jet (hereafter, the Jet) and Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) are characterized for drought vs flood, El N...

Past and future climate change over the Himalaya–Tibetan Highland: inferences from APHRODITE and NEX-GDDP data
The Himalaya–Tibetan Highland (HTH) is highly vulnerable to climate change for multiple reasons. In this work, we present past and future changes in HTH climate, using temperature and precipitation from APHROD...

Performance of CMIP5 models in the simulation of Indian summer monsoon
In this paper, the fidelity of 28 models under Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase-5 is examined for the Indian summer monsoon for the historical period from 1975 to 2005. It is found that all models ...

Performance of the CMIP5 models in the simulation of the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau monsoon
In this paper, the performance of 28 CMIP5 models in simulating the climate of the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau (HTP) for the recent past (1975–2005) is evaluated using the observations from the Asian Precipitatio...

Skill of Indian summer monsoon rainfall prediction in multiple seasonal prediction systems
We use seasonal forecasts from the Climate Historical Forecast Project (CHFP) to study the skill of multiple climate models in predicting Indian summer monsoon precipitation. The multi-model average of seasona...

Importance of the resolution of surface topography vis-à-vis atmospheric and surface processes in the simulation of the climate of Himalaya-Tibet highland
As Himalaya-Tibet Highland (HTH), a spatially extensive and complex terrain, plays influential roles in the regional and global climate, its representation in climate models is a decisive factor in climate sim...

Appearance of the persistently low tropopause temperature and ozone over the Bay of Bengal region
This paper reports the observation of persistently low tropopause temperatures (100 hPa temperatures, T 100) and ozone at 100 hPa throughout the year as compared to the corresponding zonal mean va...

Open AccessFidelity of CMIP5 multi-model mean in assessing Indian monsoon simulations
Considering the wide use of the multi-model mean (MMM) on the seasonal time scale, this work examines its fidelity in simulating some important characteristics of the Indian summer monsoon using Coupled Model ...
