“We have to draw up plans to study the influence of the warming Indian Ocean on monsoons, cyclones and one-day heavy rainfall events that lead to flash floods with measurements and computer modelling. The atmosphere and ocean interact closely during the active-break cycle of the monsoon on which modelling studies should be undertaken so as to predict monsoons well in advance,” said P V Joseph, Emeritus Professor, Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) and former Director of India Meteorological Department.
