Document Summary
India: summer monsoons, dry winters, calm brackish waters allow people to catch young shrimp. Summer monsoon brings rain and food for the fish: late summer 1999: cyclone came so fast. Storms originating at seas generally calm down when they reach land. Now marriages happen more because there is water. Forecasting systems: predict monsoon future by looking at the past, slimy sediment from sea floor, separate sediment from water, sediment goes to research laboratories around the world, single celled tiny organism are the key to the monsoon. The more the wind stirs up the sea, the more food becomes available. After the organisms die, their shells sink to the bottom of the oceans. Sea walls: rocks meant to block waves but monsoon waves are always stronger. Monsoon: end of may, monsoon clouds form over arabian sea, breeding season for fish, sun heats tibetan plateau in the spring and the warm air rises which draws damp air in from the arabian sea.
