Temporal evolution of hydroclimatic teleconnection and a time-varying model for long-lead prediction of Indian summer monsoon rainfall.

ABSTRACT: Several cases of failure in the prediction of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) are the major concern for long-lead prediction. We propose that this is due to the temporal evolution of association/linkage (inherent concept of temporal networks) with various factors and climatic indices across the globe, such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Equatorial Indian Ocean Oscillation (EQUINOO), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) etc. Static models establish time-invariant (permanent) connections between such indices (predictors) and predictand (ISMR), whereas we hypothesize that such systems are temporally varying in nature. Considering hydroclimatic teleconnection with two major climate indices, ENSO and EQUINOO,
