Abstract

Importance of monsoon depressions, Low Pressure Systems (LPS) and the number of LPS days on rainfall and hence indirectly on agriculture and hydrology, is well recognized.

 

   In this paper the pattern of annual variability in these systems have been examined using data from 1901-2000. The above mentioned parameters have been subjected to decadal analysis to detect presence of any regular pattern. An attempt has been made to find its tendency with time.  Impact of these systems on central India rainfall has been determined and discussed. 

 

 The study endorses the earlier findings that there is a   decreasing trend in the frequency of depressions which has been compensated with increase in LPS days over Indian region in recent years.  The rainfall over central India is more significantly related with a number of LPS days over Indian region.
