TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of some conceptual models that are useful for nowcasting is given, which represent a variety of systems associated with midlatitude cyclones and also mesoscale convective systems in the tropics and midlatitudes.
Abstract: Imagery from radars and satellites is one of the main ingredients of nowcasting. When used to provide very detailed forecasts of precipitation for a few hours ahead, the imagery needs to be interpreted carefully in terms of synoptic and mesoscale phenomena and their mechanisms. This paper gives an overview of some conceptual models that are useful for this purpose. The models represent a variety of systems associated with midlatitude cyclones and also mesoscale convective systems in the tropics and midlatitudes. Specific phenomena discussed are warm conveyor belts, including those with rearward- and forward-sloping ascent in ana and kata cold frontal situations, respectively; cold conveyor belts ahead of warm fronts; narrow rainbands associated with line convection at the boundary of a pre-cold-frontal low-level jet; wide mesoscale rainbands associated with midtropospheric convection; squall lines in the tropics and midlatitudes; nonsquall mesoscale convective systems in the tropics and midlatitu...

TL;DR: In this article, a homogenous representation of the Indian summer monsoon rainfall for the period 1871-1990, prepared on the basis of a fixed and well-distributed network of 306 rain-gauges, is proposed.
Abstract: The paper describes some homogenous representations of the Indian summer monsoon rainfall for the period 1871-1990, prepared on the basis of a fixed and well-distributed network of 306 rain-gauges. An Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) Index, indicating the net excess of deficient rainfall conditions over the country, is proposed. Statistical analysis of the above series identifies 18 large-scale dry years and 15 large-scale wet years during the last 120 yr. The decadal means of ISMR index were continuously negative for three decades 1901-30, positive 1931-60 and again became negative during the current period 1961-90.
