Abstract

The convective activity along the west coast of India in the southwest monsoon season has some characteristic features, the reasons for which could not be given earlier. The observed features of convective weather over Bombay in this season show that they do not fall into the general pattern found in other areas of the tropics. A study of the thermodynamic conditions reveal that these features cannot be explained in terms of the observed instability. On the other hand, these features could be explained in terms of the environmental wind field.
