Abstract

Movement of 44 squall lines over the Gangetic West Bengal during the premonsoon season (March - May) if 1959-1961 as observed by a powerfull 3-cm Japanese Radar at Dum Dum Airport (Calcutta) has been studied. It has been found that the movement of the squall lines cannot be explained by the upper wind alone. The direction of movement is generally within 90 degree to the right of the wind. It has been suggessted that the well-known Regenerative Drift Process is responsible for such high speed of movement of the squall lines.
