explain the major factor which affect the monsoon wind
Answers
The monsoon winds are affected due to the various factors that affect the monsoons. These include:
# The difference in heating and cooling rates of land and water. Between the two, land gets hotter and colder faster.
# The position change of inter-tropical convergence zone.
# The high-pressure area that gets formed at the east of Madagascar.
# The rapid heating of Tibetan Plateau during in summer causing high pressure an intense vertical air currents above the plateau.
Monsoon winds are affected by many factors. Indian Monsoon is complex climate condition to explain detail so will list some of the important and simple factors.
SW trade winds
Physical barriers(topography) - The Himalayas and The Western Ghats act as physical barriers which drive the direction of Monsoon Winds
Heating of Tibetan plateau in summer, which create the low-pressure condition north of Himalayas, which drives SW Trade winds towards low pressure.(Northward shifting of the ITCZ - Low Pressure)
Permanent High-pressure condition in the south of the Indian ocean
S-E trade winds from S Hemisphere cross the equator and turn right due to Coriolis force in N Hemisphere.
Tropical Easterly Jet(TEJ) - Upper air circulation
Elnino and Lanino are major factors of monsoon intensi
