β¦ Synopsis
The bootstrap method is applied to a time series of Indian summer monsoon rainfall to determine the best fit to specific families of univariate distribution functions. The definition of an error norm provides a criterion by which a model may be selected. On this basis both the Weibull and general extreme value distributions are selected to derive return periods of extreme monsoon rainfall.

Seasonal and annual rainfall data for 135 stations for periods varying from 25 to 125 years are utilized to investigate and understand the interannual and short-term (decadal) climate variability over the South-east Asian domain.

## Abstract This work presents results of a sharper search for significant periodicities in Indian monsoon rainfall, based on the recognition of the area's meteorological heterogeneity. Towards this end, a quantitative definition of spectral homogeneity is proposed, and the concept is used to class
## Abstract The spatial and temporal variations of the monsoon rainfall over India have been studied using the subdivisional rainfall data for the years 1871β1988. Northβwest India and north peninsular India are found to constitute two homogeneous regions. Northβeast India does not constitute a sin
