Coupled Modes and Monsoon Variability

Explore a comprehensive lecture on coupled modes and monsoon variability in this 57-minute presentation from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences' program on Moist Convective Dynamics of Monsoons. Delve into the complex interactions between cloud clusters, from small-scale turbulent formations to massive organized systems like monsoons, the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), cyclones, and the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO). Learn about the geophysical fluid dynamics of moist flows, physics of convective organization, and the intricate factors affecting monsoon convection variability. Gain insights into weather forecasting methods, data-driven approaches, and current limitations in understanding these atmospheric phenomena through expert analysis of cloud-circulation feedbacks, vortices, waves, and instabilities that govern monsoon dynamics.
