This is a detailed and comprehensive study of the climates of
Southern Asia, describing and interpreting the complex atmospheric
dynamics of the region and explaining in depth the intricacies of
the meteorology of the monsoon. To create this landmark study, the
authors have made extensive and original use of the great wealth of
primary data available, which has never previously been presented
in such an integrated way. This book is organized in two parts. The
first provides the essential meteorological background to
understanding the South Asian climate. It places the regional
circulation in the perspective of tropical general circulation and
then describes the specific features that dominate the climate of
South Asia, including characteristic features of the southwest
monsoon. The second part deals with the climatological
characteristics of South Asia; the mean climate of the region is
described, followed by the specific features of individual
countries. The spatial distribution and temporal variability of
various climatic elements over the region forms an important aspect
for this section. Climatological tables drawn from published data
on climatic normals for selected stations in South Asia and an
exhaustive bibliography are provided. The volume fulfils the
long-felt need for a reference book on the climatology of South
Asia, for use in research libraries and teaching programmes in
atmospheric science, geography, agriculture, water resources and
the other environmental sciences.
