NEW DELHI: Amid growing evidence of connection between the Arctic and the Indian Ocean, which modulates the monsoon, India has decided to deploy ‘open ocean mooring’ in the Arctic for long-term monitoring of upper ocean variables and marine meteorological parameters. The model will help in understanding the impact of Arctic ice melt on the Indian summer monsoon.
