Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO): The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) is one of the most important atmosphere-ocean coupled phenomena in the tropics, which has a profound influence on the Indian Summer Monsoon.

The MJO can be defined as an eastward moving 'pulse' of clouds, rainfall, winds and pressure near the equator that typically recurs every 30 to 60 days. The MJO is the leading mode of tropical intra-seasonal climate variability and is characterized by the organization on a global spatial scale with a period typically ranging between 30-60 days.

Statement 2 is correct: When Madden Julian Oscillation is over the Indian Ocean during the Monsoon season, it brings good rainfall over the Indian subcontinent.
