Abstract

 

 ABSTRACT. Attempt to develop a distinct technique for the prediction of duststorm or duststorm followed by thundershower during pre-monsoon season over Gwalior, has been made, Two mean 0000 UTC tephigrams have been produced for the days when the duststorms and thunderstorms occurred. Difference is highlighted in the 0000 UTC surface and TEMP data on the days of duststorm/duststorm followed by thundershower with those on the days of thunderstorm. Statistical analysis of the duststorm data over Gwalior has also been carried out with respect to direction, time, fortnight and month of  occurrence of the event. For prediction of peak gust speed (PGS) of squall due to duststorm a single regression equation has been developed.
