Abstract
Short period variations in monsoon rainfall are caused by the westward passage of low pressure systems (depressions) from the northern sector of the Bay of Bengal. A primitive equation model was used to predict the movement of one such depression (20 August 1977). Four research ships from the USSR, which formed a part of the recently concluded Monsoon Experiment, provided additional meteorological data within the field of this depression. This enabled us to fix the depression’s initial position with greater accuracy than would have been possible without the ships’ data.
