Abstract

Energetics of lower tropospheric zonal waves during onset, established and withdrawal  phases of monsoon have been studied for 1994, 1995 and 1996.  The analysis show that energetics of wave 0 over R1 (10°S-10°N), long waves (waves 1-2) over R2 (10°N - 30°S) and  short waves (waves 3-10) over R3 (30° N - 50° N)  influence the monsoon activity over India on intra-seasonal scale.

 

The weekly analysis of the energetics of zonal waves indicates that the momentum transport of wave 0 over latitudinal belt  L0 (12° S - 3° N),  wave 1 over the belt L1(10° N - 15° N)  and wave 2 over the belt  L2 (33° N - 45° N) is related to all India  rainfall on a weekly scale.  Larger southward momentum transport of wave 0  over L0 and larger northward momentum transport of wave 1  over L1 and wave 2 over L2 enhance the monsoon activity over India.
