Zorluk: OrtaClimate, Weather Systems, and Monsoon of India

Match the climatic phenomena and atmospheric features of India in List I with their correct meteorological mechanisms or characteristics in List II.

  • Tropical Easterly Jet Stream (TEJ)Establishes over the southern Indian Peninsula in summer and helps steer tropical depressions into the subcontinent
  • Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream (STWJ)Withdraws from north of the Indo-Gangetic plain to the north of the Himalayas prior to the onset of the southwest monsoon
  • Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)Shifts northward over the Indo-Gangetic Plain in summer to form a prominent low-pressure monsoon trough
  • Southern OscillationRepresents the interannual sea-level pressure seesaw between the tropical southern Pacific and Indian Oceans

Cevap

The Tropical Easterly Jet Stream matches with establishing over the southern Indian Peninsula in summer and steering tropical depressions; the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream matches with withdrawing north of the Himalayas before monsoon onset; the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone matches with shifting over the Indo-Gangetic Plain to form the monsoon trough; and the Southern Oscillation matches with the pressure seesaw between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Each atmospheric component is correctly paired with its driving mechanism in the monsoon system: the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream steers summer rain depressions; the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream retreats north of the Himalayas prior to onset; the ITCZ shifts northward over the Gangetic Plain as the monsoon trough; and the Southern Oscillation reflects interannual ocean-atmosphere pressure variations.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the role of the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream (TEJ)
TEJ is an upper-tropospheric wind system originating from thermal heating over Tibet during summer, positioned near 14°N over peninsular India.
It facilitates the entry and movement of monsoon depressions into northern and central India.
2
Identify the behavior of the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream (STWJ)
STWJ shifts north of the Himalayas near the end of May.
The vacating of STWJ from the northern Indian plains allows the equatorial low-pressure system to surge rapidly northward.
3
Examine the seasonal movement of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)
The ITCZ moves to 20°–25°N over the Gangetic Plain in July, becoming the monsoon trough.
This low-pressure trough attracts the cross-equatorial southeast trade winds, which turn into southwest monsoons.
4
Define the ocean-atmosphere phenomenon known as the Southern Oscillation
Southern Oscillation measures pressure variations across the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
It acts as a primary indicator of global climate variability affecting monsoon strength.
