Abstract

A statistical investigation of all available Rawin data at 3.0, 6.0,9.0,12.0, 14.1 and 16.2 km above sea level, for five Indian stations, covering the years 1961 and 1962 is reported in this paper. The stations are Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, New Delhi and Trivandrum. The tables showing the mean meridional and zonal components together with the standard vector deviations for the two seasons, December-February and July-August are included. The vector mean winds and the standard vector deviations for each station are given. The distribution of winds at the different levels mentioned above are tested for circularity and found to be mostly noncircular for the stations south of Lat. 20"N and mostly circular for stations north of it.
