Abstract: The paper presents die results of a study of the thermal budget of a monsoon depression that developed over the Bay of Bengal during the period 3?8 July 1979. The complete thermodynamic energy equation is considered, to ...

Abstract: Two cases of summer monsoon depressions in the vicinity of the Bay of Bengal are analyzed to study the importance of the baroclinic mechanism. Both cases show a baroclinic structure with well-defined warm and cold sectors, ...

Abstract: A limited-area primitive equation barotropic model with wind as input has been integrated up to 72 h to predict the movement of a monsoon depression and a tropical cyclone in the Indian region. The forecast up to 48 h is ...

Abstract: By examining maps of 24 h change of sea level pressure during July and August over the 10-year period 1969?78, we find that 45 (87%) of the 52 lows and depressions that formed in the Bay of Bengal were associated with ...

Abstract: The authors have investigated the climatological annual cycle in surface pressure on the Tibetan Plateau in relation to the annual cycle in surface pressure at the lower surroundings (India and China). It is found that ...
