Category: Geography (GS-I),
Test Date: 11 Sep 2024
Approach:
- Introduction: Significance of the Indian monsoon and its role in the Indian subcontinent’s climate and agriculture. Briefly outline the importance of Arctic sea ice in global climate systems.
- Mechanisms of Influence:
- Atmospheric Teleconnections: Changes in Arctic sea ice can affect atmospheric circulation patterns, such as the Jet Stream, which in turn influences the Indian monsoon.
- Heat Distribution: Reduced Arctic sea ice leads to altered heat distribution and impacts the atmospheric pressure systems that drive monsoon winds.
- Snow-Albedo Feedback: Melting Arctic ice affects the albedo effect and subsequent temperature changes in the Northern Hemisphere, influencing global weather patterns.
- Impact on the Indian Monsoon: Impact on Onset, Duration, Intensity and Distribution
