Understanding of interaction between remote dust aerosol and Indian summer monsoon (ISM) remains dubious in literature because of wide disagreement among previous studies. This problem is revisited using version-2 of Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) datasets. ISM variability at intraseasonal timescale is not constrained by the changes in dust aerosols over the most parts of West Asia and North Africa. A new hypothesis is proposed to explain covariability of dust over the Arabian Sea and ISM circulation. Large-scale forcing modulates monsoon intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) and creates active-like condition over the Indian landmass extending up to the Arabian Sea and the Arabian Peninsula. Organized convection induces anomalous southwesterly and northwesterly circulation as a response to enhanced latent heating. Enhanced northwesterly winds strengthen transport of dust over the Arabian Sea. Augmented dust forcing and associated warming over the Arabian Sea is unlikely to create a positive feedback because of its limited spatial extent. Findings of the present study provide a new insight into remote dust-ISM connection problem and the hypothesis proposed differs considerably from the previously proposed hypotheses.
