Influences of extreme phases of the Southern Oscillation (SO) phenomenon, El Nin Λo and La Nin Λa events, on the seasonal rainfall of Sri Lanka are examined by using composite maps of seasonal rainfall and sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies. There were 27 El Nin Λo and 22 La Nin Λa events, duri

Each year during 1881-1990 was examined to check whether it had an El Nin Λo (EN) and/or a Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) minimum (SO) and/or warm (W) or cold (C) equatorial eastern Pactfic sea surface temperatures SST. Several years were ENSOW, which were further subdivided into two groups namely
Association between the all-India summer monsoon (June to September) rainfall and an index of the Southern Oscillation (SO) is studied in relation to the vagaries of the monsoon rainfall and the seasonal characteristics of the SO. The Southern Oscillation index (SOI) used is the difference of normal

## Abstract The last 130 years of fluctuations in precipitation associated with the Southwest Monsoon (summer monsoon), Northeast Monsoon (winter monsoon), First Intermonsoon, and Second Intermonsoon seasons have been analysed at 15 climate stations in Sri Lanka. Analyses of trends in the interannu
## Abstract Principal component analysis with varimax rotation was used to identify major spatial patterns of New South Wales (eastern Australia) district rainfalls in each season. Four spatial patterns of the principal components of rainfall, each dominant in a subregion of the State, were evident
