TL;DR: In this paper, a three-step method for objectively defining the onset of the South China Sea monsoon (SCSM) over Kerala is presented. But the method is limited to the case when the zonal wind of 850 hPa is taken as the tentative date of MOK.
Abstract: Eight pentads before the monsoon onset over Kerala (MOK), a spatially large area of deep convection formed near the equator south of the Bay of Bengal, which moved to Southeast Asia marking the onset of the South China Sea monsoon (SCSM) for many years. Three pentads before MOK, a similar area of convection formed near the equator south of the Arabian Sea. This heat source and the associated cross-equatorial low-level jet stream (LLJ) grew steadily in strength while moving north and at MOK the convective heat source passed through Kerala latitudes and the core of a well developed LLJ was located just south of Kerala.
Eight pentads before MOK a warm pool was located over central Bay of Bengal and the area of active convection formed to its south near the equator in the region of large sea surface temperature (SST) gradient. Three pentads before MOK when the Bay of Bengal SST had cooled, a warm pool formed over central Arabian Sea and an active convection area was located south of it, also in the region of large SST gradient.
A three-step method for objectively defining MOK has been developed in this paper. In step 1 of this operationally usable method, the date on which the zonal wind of 850 hPa, averaged over a box bounded by latitudes 5°N and 10°N and longitudes 70°E and 85°E, reached 6 m/s at 600 hPa is taken as the tentative date of MOK. Steps 2 and 3 checked whether the date thus chosen was a bogus monsoon onset or not and whether on that date there was widespread convection (low OLR) around Kerala, which moved north from the equatorial region.

01 Dec 2008TL;DR: LEACH-Mobile protocol has been enhanced based on a mobility metric "remoteness" for cluster head election to ensure high success rate in data transfer between the cluster head and the collector nodes even though nodes are moving.
Abstract: Cluster based protocols like LEACH were found best suited for routing in wireless sensor networks. In mobility centric environments some improvements were suggested in the basic scheme. LEACH-Mobile is one such protocol. The basic LEACH protocol is improved in the mobile scenario by ensuring whether a sensor node is able to communicate with its cluster head. Since all the nodes, including cluster head is moving it will be better to elect a node as cluster head which is having less mobility related to its neighbours. In this paper, LEACH-Mobile protocol has been enhanced based on a mobility metric "remoteness" for cluster head election. This ensures high success rate in data transfer between the cluster head and the collector nodes even though nodes are moving. We have simulated and compared our LEACH-mobile-enhanced protocol with LEACH-mobile. Results show that inclusion of neighbouring node information improves the routing protocol.
