A New Dynamical Index for India-Burma Trough by Kui Liu, Jinlin Zha, Ruowen Yang, Jilong Chen

“…For a convenient understanding, the vertical velocities of 5 levels ranging from 700 hPa to 500 hPa within the area of 15.625°N–24.375°N and 90.625°E–100.625°E are multiplied by −1 and summed up into a time series involving each year from 1979 to 2012. The standardized value of the time series is defined as the index of India-Burma trough (IIBT). …”
