| Abstract | †‡ Studies dealing with variability of the Indian monsoon rainfall have been an active area of research since long due to their heavy impact over agricultural output on which a major proportion of the world’s population survives. Several forcing factors dominating moonsoonal intensity have been proposed in the recent times 1 , with solar forcing as one of them. In this article, we review most of the recent literature invoking impact of solar variability on monsoonal cl imate around the globe. This comparative study led us to propose that solar variability has to be carefully mon itored in decadal to multi-decadal timescale, in conjunction with other greenhouse parameters, in o rder to achieve predictive capability of monsoon rainfall. |
