Methane (CH) is a potent greenhouse gas and also plays a significant role in tropospheric chemistry. High-frequency (sub-hourly) measurements of CH and carbon isotopic ratio (δCH) have been conducted at Pune (18.53°N, 73.

Evaluating all-season data, we identify two dominant zonal patterns of MJO frequency exhibiting prominent interannual variability. These patterns are structurally similar to the Wheeler and Hendon (Mon.

India is undergoing rapid economic development, where fossil fuel emissions have increased drastically in the last three decades. Apart from the anthropogenic activities, the GHGs dynamics in India are governed by the biospheric process and monsoon circulation; however, these aspects are not well addressed yet.

The index is limited to the satellite era (post-1974) as its calculation relies on satellite-based observations. Oliver and Thompson (J Clim 25:1996-2019, 2012) extended the RMM index for the twentieth century, employing a multilinear regression on the sea level pressure (SLP) from the NOAA twentieth century reanalysis.
