University of Arizona Abstract.
Special emphasis is given to the wettest monsoon modes.
Thus, monsoon bursts and breaks seem to be modulated by low frequency variability. The neural network classification successfully captures the multidimensional interaction of the atmospheric variables during the monsoon evolution, and organizes them into 15 climate states. This may allow the formation of a low-level jet over the Great Plains, which would explain the much weaker out of phase relationship found between precipitation in the Southwest and precipitation in the Great Plains.
