| Abstract: | Aperiodicity in the time series of Indian summer rainfall for 116 years is analysed using the phase space approach. The question
whether a low-dimensional strange attractor is associated with the chaotic behaviour of the monsoon system is investigated.
It is found that a strange attractor of dimensionality around 5·1 exists and the system has 12 relevant degrees of freedom. |
