The variability and predictability of summer southwest monsoon intensity measurement index across mainland indochina: from local synoptic to large scale perspectives by Kyaw Than Oo, Yinshuo Dong, Kazora Jonah

“…The SMII is designed to overtake the limitations of local indices, which often rely on data from only two costal stations and may lack the resolution necessary for seasonal outlooks or long-term forecast modeling. By considering both south-north and west-east annual dominant pressure field gradients, the SMII provides a more robust measure of monsoon intensity. …”
