Abstract

While mariners have, for long, associated monsoon with winds, description of monsoonal circulations over land has invariably been designed to explain primarily their rainfall effects. A rainfall oriented definition of monsoon bas several limitations. An attempt has been made in this presentation to define monsoon by some consistent low level circulation feature which will have universal application, irrespective of place and time.
