Some results on 0 °C isotherm height over three stations in tropical India

Abstract

Some results on rain height in relation to 0 °C isotherm height over three stations located in different geographical regions of tropical India at different latitudes are presented in this paper. The seasonal variation in rain height has been found to be appreciable over the stations located in the central plains (Nagpur) and the Kashmir region (Srinagar), while the seasonal variation is not significant over the station located on the south-west coast (Cochin). The distribution of 0 °C isotherm height over the different stations is also discussed on the basis of local weather conditions. The variation in ground temperature over Nagpur and Srinagar during the year is large, while the variation over Cochin is not significant. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
