Abstract

An unusual wave pattern was observed on 8 August 1985 in the western Arabian Sea within the field of closed cellular clouds. The individual bands in the wave pattern were 266 km to 345 km in length and were aligned normal to the lower tropospheric flow. The wave pattern had a wave length of 103.3 km and propagated eastward at a speed of 28.3 ms-1. The pattern appears to have formed due to shallow secondary circulation in the field of lateral and vertical wind shears within the low level jet.
