Short summary
Understanding the causes of past climatic changes plays a major role in deciphering monsoon variability. This study aims to understand past changes in siliceous productivity in the Somali upwelling area, as well as the palaeo-upwelling strength and its relation with southwest monsoon (SWM) rainfall. It is found that the Somali upwelling has historically had a negative impact on SML rainfall; this has important implications as previous studies predict a future increase in the Somali upwelling.
