Monsoons: Nature’s Air Purifiers

Monsoons are more than torrential rains. They come in wet and dry varieties, but both involve a lot of wind. And it turns out, those winds can help the Earth clean up some of the pollution mess humanity makes.

    0:06 Note that while, like most countries with monsoons, the Philippines experiences the "rainy season" during the summer and early fall of temperature countries in the northern hemisphere, our dry season is divided into two: a "cold season" (basically snowless winter or fall without the falling leaves) which takes place from late fall to winter, and a "hot season" (basically early summer) that takes place around spring time. How big each season is and when they start and end depend on the monsoons, but also on the El Niño-La Niña cycle. That's probably also the case in our neighboring Southeast Asian countries, but I'm not quite sure. As for how that affects pollution here, not quite sure. As far as I'm aware, the cold season here happens when the Northeast Monsoon (or what we call "Amihan") comes, while the Rainy Season happens when the Southwest Monsoon (or what we call "Habagat") comes. It's possible that the pollutants are only carried out during the cold season then, especially in the windier parts of it. As for the hot season, I'm not quite sure...

    here in India's monsoon coast I have noticed that the monsoons have been getting more erratic and less predictable, this year in Kerala the rain in June and July was meager relative to previous years but November through January had a significant increase in rainfall, the main issue with this more erratic rainfall in regards to the monsoon coast is probably the slow shrinking of our already depleted rainforests which need the greater than 8 month long wet season to thrive in such a climate otherwise the flora and fauna which have in a multitude of ways adapted to the insanely wet climate of Kerala will all in turn die out, and by insanely wet I mean more than 3000 mm of rainfall in less than 6 months followed by more rain during April and May. the regions up north are bearing the brunt of this climatic disaster with higher seasonality causing the shrinkage of the regions seasonal rainforests native to much of the west coast south of 16th parallel north.

Did not clean up the region, it made a very big mess with several landslides, flooding, electricity gone out, people getting isolated and several people died. So better not picture monsoons as a solely good thing to happen! And yes climate change is real, and makes weather more extreme all over the world.

    This is interesting especially given that monsoons of SOME sort happen in Arizona as well. (I have relations there, and they speak of "monsoon season" often.) If I'm understanding the cycle there, those weeks or months of rain represent 90% of the precipitation southern AZ gets each year. If there ends up being more rain, it will alter the desert ecology to some extent - though I don't imagine it will vary much. But if it were to get drier? Oof.

    When you say that we've had "monsoons running like clockwork for millions of years," does that include ice ages? Seems weird to consider monsoons being the same back then but I'm no expert.

    Let's see continental ice would chill air over land... drawing moisture from seas and coming down over ice as rain or snow and maybe freezing... could blizzards be a bit like monsoon rains only colder?

    It work consistently but not at the same strength or effect. The monsoons work of Earth season not temperature. Earth season created by earth orbit around the sun. Temperature has little to no effect on the timing. Moosoon always blow from the continents to the ocean and back to the continents following the season. That is the clock work part he talking about.

    Okay, the Earth is spinning in what direction...under the air in the sky which makes it appear that the air is moving east from the west in both hemispheres... part of the leading edge of land is getting moist air pushed into mountains and pushing up cools that moist air into rainfall as on the northwestern parts of America and Europe... but air moving from one area both draws air and pushes air... cooled air with moisture rained out will want to still sink and is still being pushed east... and maybe towards warming areas where water is evaporating and rising it might move poleward or towards equatorial areas and gets turned back in a western direction if it is protected from the heavier moist ocean air by mountains blocking the heavier eastern flow.... forming rotating cells at different latitudes cycling, but also moving heat in the direction of poles and cooling towards equatorial areas... if you overlay rainfall and wind directions over vegetation density and mountain locations, and landmass.... you might see warm and cold deserts located certain latitudes and rainforests in certain latitudes north and south of equator... mirror images of climate, but shifting with seasons as heating maximums move north 23° and south 23° ... so the climate cells adjust seasonally and are effected by mountain and landmass locations.... continental drift creates mountains and landmass size changes that will change climate variations... you might change climate by moving mountains, but that generally takes time... consider where the dinosaurs were living and what weather they had, not likely the same as ours.
