摘要

This study examines projected changes in semi-permanent systems and their influence on Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) for near-future (NF; 2031–2060) and far-future (FF; 2071–2100) periods using eight CMIP6 models under SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. ACCESS-CM2 and CanESM5-CanOE models showed poor performance compared to others, hence the remaining six models are used in multi-model mean (MMM). Projections indicate a progressive weakening of the Low-Level Jet (− 0.78% (-1 ms−1) in NF to -2.98% (− 1.2 ms−1) in FF) and the upper-level Tropical Easterly Jet (-4.69% (~ − 1 m s−1) in NF to -11.7% (~ − 3 m s−1) in FF). In contrast, the Subtropical Westerly Jet exhibits a southward shift of ~ 1.5° in the FF, while the Tibetan Anticyclone strengthens (by 1–2%). Teleconnection reveals a persistent negative ENSO-ISMR relationship, with amplified influences from the Indian Ocean Dipole and North Atlantic Oscillation under SSP5-8.5 scenario. These circulation changes led to weakening of meridional shear (~ − 1-2 m s−1) and strengthening of zonal shear (~ 2–3 m s⁻1) across the tropics. ISMR increases across all scenarios from NF to FF (~ 6–8% in SSP1-2.6, ~ 5–11% in SSP2-4.5, and ~ 6–17% in SSP5-8.5) despite a weakening of monsoon circulation. This increase is linked to more frequent rainfall events (> 4 mm day−1), especially over Central and Northwest India, along with an increased contribution from September, suggesting a delayed withdrawal and extended longer monsoon season. Overall, this reflects a transition toward thermodynamically driven rainfall intensification under warming.
