| Abstract: | An analysis of the meteorological data collected by the research vessel ORV Sagarkanya for the mean latent and sensible heat
fluxes over the Arabian Sea has indicated appreciable changes between active and weak phases of the southwest monsoon of 1986.
We suggest that: (a) the presence of a core of low level winds associated with the Somali jet and its southward shift during
the season, along with (b) a ridge in surface pressure over the central Arabian Sea could be responsible for the deficit in
monsoon rainfall along the west coast of India in 1986. |
