Intensity of southwest monsoon winds
To understand the nature and mechanism of the monsoon the data collected on land, oceans and in the upper atmosphere is used.
The intensity of southwest monsoon winds of southern oscillation can be measured, among others, by measuring the difference in pressure between Tahiti (roughly 20°S and 140°W) in French Polynesia in East Paci fi c and port Darwin (12°30’S and 131°E) in northern Australia.
Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) can forecast the possible behaviour of monsoons on the basis of more than 16 indicator.
