ā¢ Question 3 of 10 3. Question 1 points Consider the following statements regarding Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Statement-I: The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a primary driver of seasonal climate patterns, similar to the El NiƱo-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Statement-II: An active phase of the MJO over the Indian Ocean can trigger an early onset of the southwest monsoon and increase rainfall intensity. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements? (a) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I (b) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I (c) Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect (d) Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct Correct Solution: d) Statement-I is incorrect. The MJO is described as a short-term climate modulator, not a driver of seasonal patterns. MJOās influence is on an intra-seasonal timescale (completing a global circuit every 30-60 days), whereas ENSO has seasonal effects. Statement-II is correct. An active (enhanced convective) phase of the MJO over the Indian Ocean can trigger an early monsoon onset, boost cyclogenesis (formation of cyclones), and increase rainfall intensity. The early monsoon onset in 2024 and 2025 is cited as an example of this phenomenon. About Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO): What is MJO? The MJO is an eastward-moving tropical atmospheric disturbance involving clouds, rainfall, winds, and pressure patterns. Discovered in 1971 by Roland Madden and Paul Julian, it typically completes a global circuit every 30ā60 days. It features two alternating phases: Enhanced Convective Phase: Characterized by increased rainfall and greater cloud formation due to rising air and moisture convergence. Suppressed Convective Phase: Marked by reduced rainfall and clearer skies, as sinking dry air inhibits cloud development. How is MJO Formed? Surface convergence of winds initiates rising air motion in the tropics. This leads to condensation and cloud formation, supported by upper-level divergence. The entire dipole system moves from west to east across the equator, especially between 30Ā°N and 30Ā°S latitude. Factors Influencing MJO: Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies, particularly in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Atmospheric moisture content and zonal wind anomalies. Seasonal conditions like El NiƱo, which can amplify or suppress MJO activity. Impacts of MJO: On Indian Monsoon: MJO in its active phase over the Indian Ocean can: Trigger early monsoon onset, as seen in 2024 and 2025. Boost cyclogenesis and increase rainfall intensityduring its passage. Improve intra-seasonal rainfall variabilityand monsoon breaks. Global Influence: Modulates cyclone frequency and strength across ocean basins. Alters jet streams, influencing weather extremes in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. Can cause cold surges, heatwaves, and floods in mid-latitude regions. Acts as a short-term climate modulator unlike ENSO, which has seasonal effects. Incorrect Solution: d) Statement-I is incorrect.

Climate Resilience: Incorporates marine debris removal, environmental standards, and climate-adaptive design for coastal sustainability.
ā¢ Statement 1 is incorrect. The Department of Fisheries held a Technical Dialogue on this topic with the Agence FranƧaise de DĆ©veloppement (AFD), indicating international collaboration. Furthermore, the related Blue Ports Initiative involves the FAO.
ā¢ Statement 2 is correct. A major focus of the Eco-Fishing Ports is on Post-Harvest Efficiency. This includes the development of infrastructure for safe fish handling, cold storage, and maintaining hygienic practices. These measures are crucial for improving seafood quality, reducing wastage, and boosting export potential.
ā¢ Statement 3 is incorrect. The initiative explicitly promotes Social Inclusiveness. It encourages community participation, women empowerment, and the establishment of co-management societies for local governance.
