Abstract

An attempt is made to arrive at a mean model of a monsoon low over land area with respect to clouds, rainfall, wind fields, Vorticity fields, vonv/div fields, temperature field and dew point depression fields. All these parameters show a diurnal variation. Area of maximum cloudiness is located in the SW sector. Rainfall is more in SW sector during evening and night and it shows a shift in NW sector during day time. NE sector is the preferred area for Cb development. Wind field is strongest at 700 mb. The vortex is vertical upto 700 mb and it shifts southward with respect to height above this level. Positive Vorticity and convergence fields are more pronounced at 900 mb. The vortex is of cold core nature in the lower troposphere and warmer in the middle and upper troposphere. The moist region associated with vortex in the SW direction with height and high moisture content continues upto 600 mb.
