Abstract

This note describes low-level observations obtained during WAMEX from an instrumented DC 7 aircraft. These data give a detailed description of the dynamical and thermodynamical structure of the layer 0.5–3 km over a zonal and a meridional cross section. The results indicate that a large and variable northerly wind occurs down to the Equator in the monsoon layer.
