Abstract

Occurrences of line type echoes over Agartala aerodrome and its neighbourhood. during February-October 1964 have been studied with respect to their shapes, dimensions, orientations, movements, times of occurrences, life cycles and the associated synoptic situations. It has been found that the lines have marked preferences for their formations in different sectors in different seasons. The movements of the lines are found to be associated with upper winds at 3-km level in the monsoon season. Instances of formations of secondary cells in the forward, backward and lateral sectors of the main squall lines have also been observed. An explanation for the formation of these secondary cells bas been offered.
