  abstract = {{Q}uite a few studies have documented the evolution of monsoon synoptic systems and midlatitude atmospheric blocking associated with the recent heavy precipitation and floods over northwest {P}akistan during 2010. {T}his period also witnessed a very unusual {I}ndo-{P}acific sea surface temperature ({SST}) evolution with a strong {L}a {N}ina event in the {P}acific, substantial {I}ndian {O}cean warming, and a negative {I}ndian {O}cean dipole event, together with significant enhancement of precipitation over both the equatorial western {P}acific {O}cean and the eastern {I}ndian {O}cean. {H}ere, the authors perform a suite of high-resolution atmospheric general circulation model experiments to investigate the influence of {I}ndo-{P}acific {SST} anomalies on the {S}outh {A}sian monsoon circulation and heavy precipitation over {P}akistan and adjoining northwest {I}ndia during 2010. {T}he realistic simulation of these rainfall anomalies using observed {SST}s motivated the authors to explore the specific influence of {I}ndian {O}cean and {P}acific {SST} anomalies through additional simulation experiments. {T}he authors find that, in addition to strengthening of the {P}acific {W}alker circulation, the anomalous intensification of east-west circulation over the {I}ndian {O}cean in 2010 was a key element in contributing to precipitation enhancement over the northwest {I}ndia-{P}akistan region. {I}t is found that the subsiding branch of the east-west circulation over the {I}ndian {O}cean induced anomalous subsidence over the western tropical {I}ndian {O}cean and played a key role in inducing northward transport of moisture and promoting generation of strong upward motion and heavy precipitation events over the northwest {I}ndia-{P}akistan region.},
