Impact of Global Warming on Indian Monsoon

Global warming and associated climate changes have an impact on the Indian monsoons.

  • The monsoon circulation, is driven by the land-ocean thermal contrasts, brings in warm, moisture-laden winds near the surface. Over land, this air rises and the moisture condenses, releasing heat that warms the atmosphere. Trapping of radiation by GHGs warms the atmosphere, increasing moisture availability but reducing the thermal contrast due to greater warming of the atmospheric col…
