New research from India reveals that, contrary to long-held scientific beliefs, feeding on trees and shrubs does not provide Asian elephants with more protein than grazing on grass.
A new study reveals diverse rainfall trends across major Indian cities, demonstrating the combination of statistical analysis and machine learning for enhanced prediction
Scientists use computer models to find the best places to gather weather data, aiming to improve predictions for India's vital summer monsoon.
A new study presents a comprehensive understanding of how river floods in India have evolved over the past 40 years, from 1970 to 2010, based on records of river flow from 173 different monitoring stations spread across the country.
The beginning of seasonal monsoon and other geophysical changes due to the Himalayan uplift caused diverse species of ginger lily.
Southern India, now battered with the scorching heat, is awaiting the monsoon showers that bring some respite during the month of June. It looks like the wait would not be too long and well worth it. In a press release issued today, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that the southwest monsoon rainfall over the country, on the whole, is likely to be normal.
Researchers from China, USA and UK, shed light on the formation and evolution of the Asia-Africa-Australia monsoon and arid regions. They also looked at the factors that controlled them during the Cenozoic Era.
Researchers from IIT Kanpur, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA, University of Hyderabad, and IIT Delhi have tried to understand how aerosols affect the Indian monsoon season.
Researchers at the University of Aizu, Japan, and Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, have proposed some improvements to existing monsoon-predicting models that could help precise prediction of the monsoon rains. An accurate monsoon forecast can help farmers plan agricultural activities and have early warning systems in place to prevent the loss of life and property by floods.
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar studied the pattern of winter rainfall over the last century.
In a recent finding that could unveil a hitherto unknown function of the South Asian monsoon, researchers from Germany and Cyprus have described how the South Asian monsoon plays an active role in regulating the levels of pollutants in the atmosphere.
