abstract = "Characterizing every year during the 120 year interval 1871-1990
as a year of El Nino (EN), or Southern Oscillation minimum (SO),
or equatorial eastern Pacific sea-surface temperature (SST) warm
(W) or cold (C) episode or none (non-events), the corresponding
summer monsoon rainfall departures for all India and for the 29
meteorological subdivisions were examined. The best relationship
for droughts was with unambiguous ENSOW (El Nino year with SO and
W near the middle of the calendar year) and for floods with C
(cold SST). The droughts were generally widespread, although Assam
and Bengal might have had normal rainfall or even floods when
other subdivisions had droughts. In some ENSOW years when all
India rainfall was normal, the rainfall in subdivisions was either
normal or mixed (droughts in some subdivisions, floods in others).
However, droughts and floods occurred during other types of events
also, and ENSOW or C were neither sufficient nor necessary. Some
floods and droughts were associated with incorrect type (floods
during El Nino, etc.), and some occurred during non-events,
indicating that factors unrelated to EN, or SO, or W, or C may be
more influential in some years.",
