Abstract

 Model for the Arabian Sea summer monsoon proposed by Ramage ( 1969) and his conclusions about drought of 1899 in western India have been discussed. The heat-low over Pakistan and the air from across the equator drawn north and northeastwards which helps development of the trough over the Gangetic valley under the influence of the topographical features of the subcontinent, are considered the primary causes responsible for the setting up of monsoon circulation upto about 600 mb and the latent heat of condensation would not appear to play any significant role in the same.
