Atlantic sea-surface temperatures could impact monsoons: Scientists
(World News Science)

Changes in the sea-surface temperatures in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean have gained influence on India´s summer monsoon and could affect the rains the way El Nino of the Pacific Ocean does, studies suggest. Scientists have found that slight deviations from the average in the equatorial Atlantic sea-surface temperatures - warming or cooling - have had greater impacts on the summer monsoon between 1975 and 2010 compared with earlier decades. Weather researchers have known for a long time...
