  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The interplay of the El Nino Southern Oscillation, Asian monsoon and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) drives climatic extremes in and around 
the Indian Ocean. Historical and proxy records reveal changes in the 
behaviour of the El Nino Southern Oscillation and the Asian monsoon over recent decades. However, reliable instrumental records of the 
IOD cover only the past 50 years, and there is no consensus on long-
term variability of the IOD or its possible response to greenhouse 
gas forcing. Here we use a suite of coral oxygen-isotope records 
to reconstruct a basin-wide index of IOD behaviour since AD 1846. 
Our record reveals an increase in the frequency and strength of 
IOD events during the twentieth century, which is associated with 
enhanced seasonal upwelling in the eastern Indian Ocean. Although the El Nino Southern Oscillation has historically 
influenced the variability of both the IOD and the Asian monsoon, we find that the recent intensification of the IOD coincides with 
the development of direct, positive IOD-monsoon feedbacks. We suggest that projected greenhouse warming may lead to a 
redistribution of rainfall across the Indian Ocean and a growing 
interdependence between the IOD and Asian monsoon precipitation 
variability.</Abstract>
