Abstract: An examination of the severe cyclonic storms which formed over the Bay of Bengal and those which struck the coast during the period 1877?1977 brings out a higher mean annual frequency, and a higher percentage of storms ...

Abstract: Independence of monthly and bimonthly rainfall has been investigated for 39 well-distributed and long-record stations in the field of the Asian summer monsoon. The study reveals: (1) monthly rainfall is pairwise independent ...

Abstract: The Indian economy is very closely linked with the variable performance of the summer monsoon. The incidence of dry and wet conditions over the country has been examined for the period 1871?1978 by examining the normal ...

Abstract: We have examined 46 years (1939?84) of observed data to study synoptic and statistical relationships between the summer monsoon rainfall over India, the Southern Oscillation, and the midtropospheric circulation over India. ...

Abstract: A long rainfall series for the contiguous Indian region for the summer monsoon season (June-September), when more than 75% of the annual rainfall occurs over large parts of the country, has been constructed by considering ...

Abstract: Distribution functions for seasonal (southwest monsoon) and annual rainfall at 53 long-record stations in India have been obtained. It was found that the frequency distributions are right skewed. Tests for normality show ...

Abstract: An objective numerical drought index based on monthly monsoon rainfall and duration has been developed for assessment of drought intensity. The drought intensity equation serves the dual purpose of assessing the intensity ...

Abstract: This is primarily a statistical study based on linear correlation analysis. The mean monthly surface thermal field over India based on a fairly well-distributed network of 119 stations has been examined for March-May during ...

Abstract: An objective numerical index has been used to obtain, on the dryness side, the family of Drought Area Indices (DAI) and on the wetness side, the family of Flood Area Indices (FAI) for India for the period 1891?1979. Three ...
