Abstract

Time-sections of upper air temperatures over Delhi and Calcutta based on two radiosonde ascents daily during the period 14 to 27 April 1952 are studied in relation to the synoptic situation and compared with similar time-section available for Ahmedabad. A detailed study of an upper level trough which passed across north India between 19 and 23 February 1954 have also been attempted. It is noticed that large fluctuations of temperature in the upper and mid- troposphere are associated with the migration of upper level troughs, the temperatures generally rising to the rear of the trough limit. A possible explanation for this feature is suggested.
