Multi-Scale Precipitation Variability Over the Tropics

Multi-Scale Precipitation Variability Over the Tropics by Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay, Boualem Khouider, and Shoichi Shige offers an authoritative, accessible guide to understanding rainfall dynamics across tropical regions — essential reading for researchers, forecasters, and policy-makers confronting climate uncertainty.

Begin with a clear, compelling overview of how precipitation in the tropics operates across time and space, this volume draws together observational records, theoretical frameworks, and modeling perspectives to explain variability from convective events to seasonal and interannual patterns. Readers will find lucid explanations of key drivers — including atmospheric waves, coupled ocean–atmosphere processes, and large-scale teleconnections — framed with real-world implications for the Indian Ocean, Pacific, Atlantic, Amazon Basin, West Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Delve deeper into rigorous yet readable chapters that bridge statistical analysis and numerical modeling, showing how multi-scale interactions shape flood risk, drought onset, and monsoon behavior. The authors synthesize current research while highlighting diagnostic tools useful for applied forecasting and climate adaptation planning. Practical case studies and regional perspectives bring the science to life for anyone working on tropical meteorology, hydrology, or climate resilience.

For professionals and graduate students seeking a comprehensive resource on tropical precipitation variability, this book is both a reference and a roadmap: it clarifies complex processes, supports improved seasonal-to-interannual prediction, and informs water-management and disaster-preparedness strategies across tropical geographies.
