Abstract

An attempt has been made in this study to identify the synoptic systems that cause active or vigorous monsoon conditions over the three meteorological sub-divisions of Andhra Pradesh using the data for the years 1986 to 2000.  Despite significant decrease in the frequency of  formation of monsoon depressions in recent years, monsoon performance is noticed to be very good.  Monsoon lows and upper air cyclonic-circulations (cycirs) found to be the chief synoptic systems which activate the monsoon over the state.  Typical cases of these synoptic situations are discussed.
