Abstract

Low pressure vortices of small extent or microcells of low pressure are sometimes embedded in the large scale circulation of the lower levels of the atmosphere. These can be located on the surface iecbaric charts plotted on a large scale map by drawing isobars at intervals of 1.0 or 0.5 mb. It is seen that location and movement of these vortices sometimes influence distribution of rainfall over small areas, The spots of heavier rainfall tend to move near to the microcells of low pressure, A II1eso-scale network of observing stations is necessary for precises location of these cells and for study of their movements and influence on rainfall distribution. Results of studies with available observations on some typical days of the monsoon season in 1961 are presented in this paper.
