Abstract

On the oasis of findings, by radar, of heights of tops of rain-giving clouds over Calcutta area during southwest monsoon season, and noting the associated precipitation features in different instances estimates have been made of the relative contributions to the season's rainfall by 'Warm' and 'Cold' clouds. The study has Shown that, although the percentage contribution by warm rain to the season's total rainfall in Calcutta area is higher than that over the more continental region around Delhi, the net yield of rainfall from warm clouds in this area also is quite small.
