Abstract

Frequency of thunderstorm development in Delhi region during the monsoon season and some of their general characteristics have been studied using the radar observations of convective clouds within 100 km around Delhi made during the monsoon season of the S-year period from I965to 1972. For this purpose convective clouds whose radar echo tops reached or extended beyond 8 km have been considered as thunder clouds. The study revealed that about 34 per cent of the convective clouds; forming in and round Delhi develop into I thunder-storms. Height distribution of the storm cells and spatial distribution of storm echoes are also discussed.
