- Influence of Equatorial Spring Insolation on Abrupt Asian Summer Monsoon Decline at Orbital Scale (2024) · Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · cited 2× · doi
Abstract The dominant influence of precession‐induced changes in summer insolation on orbital‐scale variability of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) during the Holocene has been widely proposed; however, it remains unclear why the decline of the ASM started several thousand years after the peak summer insolation.

The factors influencing the north-south rainfall pattern of the Indian Summer Monsoon are not well understood. The teleconnections of the interannual variation of the ISM rainfall have changed significantly since the major climatic shift in the late 1970s. There is a need to study the relationship between the Indo-Pacific warm-pool cooling and the gradient of surface temperature between Iran and the Arab.

The paper identifies a gap in understanding the specific mechanisms by which the Tibetan Plateau zonal shear line affects summer precipitation. There is a need to investigate the thermodynamic teleconnection between the Tibetan Plateau and the South Asian monsoon. The study seeks to address the lack of understanding of the relationship between the Tibetan Plateau climate and the South Asian monsoon.
