Abstract

Studies have been made of isolated radar echoes of rain clouds observed during different seasons of 1964 and 1965, in the neighbourhood of Agartala Airport (Tripura). The vertical decay rate of echo tops has been found to be greater than their growth rate in all the seasons and the movement isolated cells closely related to the winds from 2.1 to 3.0.km level. The heights of the radar echoes at initial detection show that the precipitation generating levels in these clouds vary, though in most of the cases, the initial heights of the tops of radar echoes is below the freezing level. This suggests that the condensation-coalescence is the dominant precipitation mechanism over the region.
