Short summary
This study using a variable resolution global climate model having high-resolution zooming over the South Asian region indicates that the anthropogenic effects have influenced the recent weakening of the monsoon circulation and decline of precipitation. The simulated increase of surface temperature over the Indian region during the post-1950s is accompanied by a significant decrease of monsoon precipitation and soil moisture. This summer time soil drying is detectable under RCP4.5 scenario.
