Abstract

The time and type of onset of the southwest monsoon over the Arabian Sea is studied using ship reports of surface wind tabulated by 1° squares daily along two densely occupied shipping lanes. It is found that several types of onset occur, and that the mean time of onset, suitably defined, changes very little from year to year.
