ATMOSPHERIC ENERGY FLUXES OVER TROPICAL INDIAN REGION DURING TWO CONTRASTING MONSOON YEARS

摘要

Atmospheric energy fluxes over tropical Indian region have been computed from the surface to 300 mbar at intervals of 50 mbar for premonsoon and monsoon months during two contrast monsoon years of 1977 and 1979. The mean and eddy components due to meridional circulation have been separated. Poleward transport of these parameters over some of tropical Indian stations reveals several contrasting features. It has been found that some of these parameters can give very useful indications of ensuing monsoon performance over India.
