Abstract

Using the data on air and sea surface temperature and total cloud cover recorded of the country, by a fixed polygon of ships over the Bay of Bengal during MONEX-79 from 11 to 23 July 1919, the effective long-wave radiation from the sea surface was calculated by a semi-empirical relation. This relation was found to agree satisfactorily with observed values of outgoing radiation during Monsoon- 77. A statistical analysis revealed very good negative correlation between the effective outgoing radiation and the total cloud cover (N). In view of this correlation, we performed a spectral analysis of the effective outgoing radiation and the total cloud cover. The paper presents the results of the spectral analysis, including the square of the coherency and the phase difference between these two variates.
