Agricultural Meteorology- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024

MCQ (Single Correct)

What is the criteria for below-normal rainfall for the whole of India during the monsoon season?

_ lower than 80% of LPA rainfall lower than 90% of the LPA rainfall Correct lower than 95% of the LPA rainfall _ lower than two times the long-term standard deviation of monsoon rainfall

IMD All-India Monsoon Rainfall Classification:
Deficient / Below-Normal category: Seasonal rainfall lower than 90% of the Long Period Average (LPA).
Near normal: 96% to 104% of LPA.
Excess: Exceeding 110% of LPA. (Correct answer: Option 2)
