Abstract
The cloud distribution around typical monsoon depressions is studied with the aid of satellite cloud pictures. The depressions have asymmetric cloud distribution with the main overcast to the west and southwest of centre. The thermal structure of these depressions is studied with the help of thickness charts. They show that the well-marked depressions are associated with considerable thermal advection. The energetics of monsoon depressions has been discussed in relation to the observed thermal structure of the depressions.
