Abstract/Summary

South Asian monsoon low-pressure systems (LPSs) are synoptic-scale cyclonic vortices that produce substantial precipitation over the Indian subcontinent. In this study, a catalogue of four regional varieties of LPSs, which occur during June–September 1979–2018, is used for 4 examining the track statistics, thermal and moisture structure, and precipitation contribution of each variety. The modulation of LPS activity by tropical intraseasonal variability, which is commonly monitored by the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation, Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillation and Madden-Julian Oscillation indices, is investigated.
