Abstract

Thickness and contour analyses of 700, 500 and 300.mb pressure surfaces were made for some spells of very heavy rainfall along the West Coast of India during the monsoon season, 1958. It is shown that areas of warm advection indicated by the contour-thickness grids at the 500.mb surface represented regions of very heavy rainfall more readily than those at other pressure surfaces.
