TL;DR: Analysis of the 140-year historical record suggests that the inverse relationship between the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian summer monsoon (weak monsoon arising from warm ENSO event) has broken down in recent decades.

TL;DR: It is shown that El Niño events with the warmest sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific are more effective in focusing drought-producing subsidence over India than events withThe warmest SSTs in the eastern equatorialPacific.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of crop-climate relationships for India, using historic production statistics for major crops (rice, wheat, sorghum, groundnut and sugarcane) and for aggregate food grain, cereal, pulses and oilseed production.

TL;DR: The authors provided a new view of global and regional monsoonal rainfall, and their changes in the 21st century under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios as projected by 29 climate models that participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present linear trend analyses of maximum and minimum temperature data at 121 stations in India during the period 1901-87 and find that the increase in the mean temperatures over India is almost solely contributed by the maximum temperatures, with the minimum temperatures remaining practically trendless, leading to an increase in a diurnal range of temperatures.
