Around the time of arrival of the monsoon the normal rainfall increases suddenly, and continues constantly for several days. This is known as 'burst of the monsoon.

ENSO is the combination of ELNI no and southern oscillation. The changes in pressure conditions are connected to EL Nino, hence the phenomenon is referred to as ENSO.

So means southern oscillation. Normally when the tropical eastern South pacific ocean experiences high pressure, the tropical eastern Indian ocean experiences low pressure. This periodic change in pressure conditions is known as Southern Oscillation.

The presence of the high pressure area, east of Madagascar approximately at 20"s over the Indian ocean, its intensity and the position of this high, pressure area also affects the Indian monsoon.

It means inter Tropical convergence Zone. It is a broad trough of low pressure in equatorial latitude. This is where northeast and southeast trade winds converge.

Differential heating and cooling of land and water creates low pressure on the land of India while the seas around experience comparatively high pressure leading to the shifting of winds from south to north.

The sailors who came to India in historic times were one of the first to have noticed the phenomenon of monsoon. They benefitted from the reversal of the wind system as they came by sailing ships at the mercy of winds.

What is El Nino?
EL Nino is a warm ocean current that flows past the Peruvian coast in place of cold Peruvian current every 2 to 5 years.

How differential heating and cooling of land and water help in understanding mechanism of monsoon?
Differential heating and cooling of land and water creates low pressure on the land of India while the seas around experience comparatively high pressure leading to the shifting of winds from south to north.
