Southern Oscillation

Answer 1

• The Southern Oscillation is a pattern of meteorological changes that are often observed between the Indian and Pacific oceans.
• Whenever the surface-level pressure is high over the Pacific Ocean and low over the Indian Ocean, the southwest monsoons in India tend to be stronger.
• If the surface-level pressure is high over the Indian Ocean and high over the Pacific Ocean, the southwest monsoon is likely to be weaker.
