Description :
Monthly precipitation data are assembled to analyze the impact of global teleconnections, namely ENSO, PDO, and local sea surface temperature (SSTs) on winter rainfall across the Indian subcontinent from 1925 to 1998. Canonical correlation analysis reveals one statistically significant vector for the precipitation occurring over the subcontinent and one for the predictor variables. The results of the study will be useful for greater efficiency in the forecasting of winter precipitation.
