Abstract

Response, to the monsoon in its various phases, of the upper layers of the oceans has been studied in this paper. During pre-monsoon and weak or break monsoon periods the strength of the easterly current reduces and tends to become westerly. During onset phase westerly component  increases with depth. While weak positive or negative Vorticity predominates during pre-onset or break periods, stro11g positive Vorticity rules, the Arabian Sea during active monsoon. Kinetic energy, divergence and vertical velocity patterns also show interesting behaviour during various phases of monsoon.
