Pacific Decadal Oscillation linked to Gujarat's heavy rainfall, scientists say
Scientists have connected the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) to conditions that may have contributed to Gujarat's recent heavy rainfall. The PDO is a long-term climate pattern in the Pacific Ocean that influences weather systems over extended periods. Unlike El Niño, which operates on shorter timescales of months to years, the PDO shifts phases over decades. Researchers consider understanding the PDO important for interpreting monsoon behaviour and anticipating extreme weather events in regions like India.
