Abstract

It has been observed that in 1972 and 1979 which were years of very poor monsoon activity, the upper troposphere over northwest India in the period preceding the onset of monsoon was considerably colder compared to other years of the decade 1970-1979 which experienced generally normal monsoon activity.

 

The paper presents a study of upper tropospheric thermal features in the pre-monsoon period for the years 1970-1979 with the help of temperature cross-sections at 300 mb level roughly along longitude 75 deg. E. The study has revealed a good association of upper tropospheric thermal features in the pre.monsoon period with the subsequent monsoon activity.
