Stronger Indian monsoon and increased rainfall predicted for Asian region
The study looked at how rainfall patterns in the Asian monsoon region have changed from the mid-Holocene to today. By comparing climate model simulations with historical data, researchers found that during the mid-Holocene, most of India received more rain due to a stronger summer monsoon. In East Asia, changes in rainfall were influenced by both the summer monsoon and the westerly winds before the monsoon season. The findings show that the Asian monsoon system responds in a complex way to changes in the Earth's orbit, and high-resolution simulations are needed to capture these nuances accurately.
