Abstract

Radar and rain gauge data are used to determine the precipitation pattern in the vicinity of the north coast of Borneo during Winter MONEX. The results show that separate maxima of rain occurred offshore and inland. Satellite data for other years suggest that this rainfall pattern typifies the winter monsoon in this area.
