Abstract
Abstract Banerjee et al. showed for the first time that the number of Indian subdivisions with normal or above-normal monsoon rainfall is related to the location of the April 500-mb ridge along 75°E. Thapliyal brought out the relationship between monsoon rainfall of peninsular India and this ridge. A detailed investigation of the relationship between all-India (India taken as one unit) monsoon rainfall, as well as monsoon rainfall of the subdivisions of India, and the location of the April 500-mb ridge along 75°E, and of the stability and consistency of the relationship has been made in this study, which is based on data for 1939–84. The relationship between all-India monsoon rainfall and the ridge location is positive (correlation coefficient = 0.71) and is significant at the 0.1% level and that between the subdivisional monsoon rainfall and the ridge is significant at 5% or above for all the subdivisions lying west of 84°E and north of 12°N. During the years when all-India monsoon rainfall is deficient,...
