Clouds,
rainfall, and water vapor establish the heating gradients which drive the
monsoon.
To the
left, the strong spatial correlations between total precipitable water
(from
the NVAP project) and convective instability (judged
from GCAPE analysis of the ECMWF reanalysis) and tropospheric
longwave radiative divergence
(based on an explicit
radiative modelling using ISCCP clouds) are shown.
