Abstract

The upper air observations recorded by the Russian during the monsoon period of 1976 were examined. It was seen that the southeast trades crossed the equator even at Long. 87.SoE. The influence of   the southern hemispheric equatorial trough (SHET) in turning the southeast trade8 to southwesterly or westerly was noticed below 500 mb level. Moist air prevailed at all levels in the equatorial soundings and the shallow isothermal layers, though present, do not show any evidence of mass subsidence over this area. The relative dryness in the middle troposphere was clearly seen in the soundings over the Arabian Sea.
