Abstract

An examination of the hourly observations made at the Tiruchirapalli airfield during the years 1945-46 and those made at the Tiruchirapalli cantonment during May 1943 to November 1944 has been made and discussed in this note. It has been found that the variation of wind during the course of  the day as well as during the different seasons are well marked. The diurnal variation has been subjected to harmonic analysis and the characteristic feature in the different seasons have been discussed. The predominant directions of wind during the different seasons, as well as the frequency of winds from different directions have also been given. A preliminary examination in regard to the incursion of sea breeze at Tiruchirapalli has also been made.
