Agroclimatic classification for assessment of crop potential And its application to dry farming tract of India
Authors: SARKER RP , BISWAS BC 
Published: May 2022

To find out agroclimatic potential of a region, it is necessary to classify it into different agroclimatic zones. In this paper, a theory has been developed for agroclimatic classification on the basis of an index called 'Moisture Availability Index (MAI)’, which is defined as the ratio of assured rainfall to potential evapotranspiration. Three improvements have been made on earlier classifications. First, moisture availability index has been taken on weekly basis; second, minimum assured rainfall has been considered at different probability levels, and third, the different values of MAI and their duration have been taken as appropriate to various crop phases. The classification, however, has been recommended on the basis of moisture availability index at 50% probability level, which is considered to be an optimum value. The main classification has been further sub-divided depending upon the length of water stress period.
The theory so developed has been applied first to the dry farming tract of India and then to Maharashtra.

Authors: AGRAWAL RANJANA , JAIN RC , JHA MP 
Published: May 2022

Various models to study the effects of weather variables on rice yield at different
stages of crop growth and to forecast its yield for Puri district have been attempted.
The results indicated that above average maximum daily temperature had beneficial effects during ripening stage; detrimental effects during reproductive stage of the crop while in the initial growth, active and lag vegetative phase effects were fluctuating. The effect of increase in minimum temperature, was beneficial during initial, lag vegetative and reproductive stages, detrimental during ripening stage and fluctuating during active vegetative stage. Above average relative humidity and rainfall had beneficial effects throughout the growth and detrimental effects during ripening phase of the crop in general. The effects of rainfall and increase in number of rainy days were fluctuating up to lag vegetative, beneficial during reproductive and detrimental during ripening stage of the crop. Effects of increase in sunshine hours were detrimental during initial growth, active vegetative and reproductive stages, fluctuating during lag vegetative and beneficial during ripening stage of the crop.

Published: May 2022

A statistical analysis of weekly mean meteorological factors like minimum temperature, maximum temperature, relative humidities, sunshine hours, rainfall and seasonal index of the yearly percentage infestation of spotted bollworm (earias spp.) in cotton crop grown at Surat in Gujarat State during 1962-80 is done by applying simple and multi-correlation regression techniques. Sunshine hours during squaring period, relative humidity and rainfall during flowering period, minimum and maximum temperatures at the time of boll formation play an important role in the infestation. Flower buds and bolls are most vulnerable parts of the crop. Heavy incidences occur in parts of west Uttar Pradesh, Vidarbha, Gujarat, north Interior Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh during months of September to November which is mostly boll-formation stage period lor the crop growth.
Some synoptic aspects of the low level inversion over Arabian Sea during MONEX'79
Authors: SEN PN , DAS HP 
Published: May 2022

Aerological observations over the Arabian Sea during the Summer Monsoon Experiment in 1979 show the presence of low level thermal inversion over the oceanic region prior to the onset, at the time of onset and at the established phase of the southwest monsoon. The thermal and moisture stratifications in the sub-inversion layer have been presented on the basis of thermodynamic chart. The spatial and temporal variations of the inversion layers as found from the dropsonde data coflected from the United States aircraft Convair 990, Electra and P-J, have been presented in the form of charts. The formation of inversion may be attributed mainly to the confluence of the cool moist air of oceanic origin and the dry warm air of continental origin.
When a synoptic disturbance approached the area, a moist tongue was seen to form in the sub-inversion layer. The formation of this sharp moisture gradient may be related to the vertical upward motion below the inversion. The profiles of static stability during this period show that the height of the base of inversion becomes higher with the increase of static stability parameter in the sub-inversion layer.
Vertical p-velocities have been calculated at different locations using the dropsonde data. The impact of the vertical p-velocity on the inversion layer at different phases of monsoon has been discussed.
The estimation of surface fluxes from heat balance equation for the city of Delhi
Authors: KUMARI MANJU , SHARMA OP 
Published: May 2022

Simplified empirical formulae have been used to compute radiative, soil heat, latent heat and sensible surface heat fluxes based on routine meteorological surface observations. These empirical formulae enable us to compute these fluxes without involving too many complicated input parameters. Computations have been performed for the four representative months of the season of a year for the city of Delhi. On comparison, net radiation and latent heat flux show good agreement with their observed values. Furthermore, a sensitivity test performed by varying turbidity the atmosphere shows that a two-fold increase in turbidity may cause a change of 15-50 change of the net radiation at various times of the day.
Precipitation network design for mountainous catchment
Authors: KAUR SURINDER , UPADHYAY DS 
Published: May 2022

The precipitation in mountainous region has higher spatial variability and the correlation r(s) between precipitation series recorded at two stations distant 's’ apart decreases with s at faster rate than in plain region. As such, a denser network would be desirable in mountains for the estimation of areal precipitation.
In this paper, the correlation approach to derive the variance of areal precipitation has been discussed and a procedure is outlined for evaluation of network density m respect of (a) flood forecasting events, (b) long term climatological purposes.
The scheme suggested has been illustrated for Beas catchment (area: 12509 km2) in Western Himalayas.

An evaluation of cyclone genesis parameter over the Bay of Bengal using model analysis
Authors: BHOWMIK S. K.ROY 
Published: May 2022

The thermodynamical condition necessary for tropical cyclogenesis are commonly satisfied over most of the oceans while the dynamical conditions have large day to day variations. Zehr (1992) designed a parameter known as Genesis Parameter (GP) which involves three dynamical conditions of the environment. In this paper an intercomparison of Genesis Parameter associated with some recent developing and non-developing low pressure systems is made with a view to get an idea of its threshold value for the Bay of Bengal. Model analysis field at the resolution 1° ´ 1° lat./long. is used for derivation of GP. The study reveals that GP value around 20 ´ 10 –12 sec-2 against T. No. 1.5 has the potential to develop into a severe cyclonic storm. Both for the Orissa super cyclone of October 1999 and the Bangladesh very severe cyclonic storm with core of hurricane winds of May 1997, GP attained its peak intensity at T. No. 3.5. There was a time lag of about 24-36 hours between GP max. and highest intensity of the system. It appears to provide useful predictive signals for the operational cyclone warning work.

Published: May 2022

An attempt has been made in this paper to study the nature of decay of maximum wind speed of Orissa Super Cyclone (October 1999) after landfall. From the scanty observations that became available in respect of this cyclone, it is found that the maximum wind speed decreased exponentially after landfall. The decay curve indicates that the maximum wind speed got reduced to a small but non zero value. An empirical equation relating wind speed with time after landfall has been developed. The value of decay constant (per hour) is found to be 0.0991. The technique is also tested to predict the wind speed after landfall for the very severe cyclonic storm of October 1999 which made landfall near Gopalpur in Orissa in the mid night of 17 October 1999. The wind speed estimated applying this technique is found to be consistent with the observations.

Authors: KHOLE MEDHA , DE U. S. 
Published: May 2022

The North-East (NE) monsoon is one of the important components of Indian climate system. The aerial extent of NE monsoon generally extends over south-eastern peninsular India. The following five meteorological sub-divisions of India viz. coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, south interior Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu receive significant amount of rainfall during the NE monsoon. In the present study, using a long period data series 1875-1997, the variability of NE monsoon rainfall over south-eastern peninsula and whole India, is studied. The association of NE monsoon rainfall with El-Nino and La-Nina years is also analysed. It is observed that, the NE monsoon rainfall, over the south-eastern peninsular India is higher (lower) than normal, during El-Nino (La-Nina) years. Also, the probability of NE monsoon rainfall over this region being excess or normal during El-Nino years is very high, 0.93.
Correlation structure of daily rainfall over Teesta catchment
Authors: SEETHARAM K. 
Published: May 2022

In many scientific studies, the r-estimates were widely used to know the spatial distribution of daily rainfall in various weather situations. In this present paper, the cross - correlation analysis has been performed to understand the variability of daily rainfall during monsoon months over Teesta catchment. For the purpose of study, ten station's daily rainfall data for the period 1995-2000 has been utilized. The analysis of estimated cross-correlation field entirely for four months of monsoon suggested that the rainfall area during the monsoon months extends up to 60-80 km distance in north-south, northnortheast-southsouthwest and 50 km in the remaining directions. The pattern of daily rainfall can best be represented as intersection of two ellipses, one with major axis in the direction of northnortheast-southsouthwest (75° N-80° N/115° S-100° S) and another with major axis in northnorthwest-southsoutheast (110° N-120° N/70° S-60° S) direction and are seen traversing in the directions of major uplands. It is also found that the estimated correlation coefficients decreased with distance in all the directions other than in the directions major axes of elliptical patterns of spatial distribution of correlation coefficients and became insignificant beyond 50 km. It is also seen that in hilly regions of the catchment, the moisture feed is blocked further in northnortheast direction (65° N) due to presence of uplands southsouthwest of it.
Pattern of rainfall variability over dry farming zone of India and its agricultural implications
Authors: DAS H. P. , KORE P. A. 
Published: May 2022

Using suitable rainfall criteria, beginning of monsoon rains suitable for crop sowing, cessation of rainy season from agricultural point of view and the peak values of the rainfall, have been determined and their spatial distribution studied. Correlations of each of these parameters with time were computed to examine the possible trends. Association between number of rainy days and seasonal (monsoon) rainfall with time have also been attempted and discussed. With a view to determine coherence in rainfall pattern in the dry farming region (DFR), an index has been devised from its different sub-regions of the zone. Decadal analysis has also been done to see whether mean rainfall in a decade statistically differed from those in other decades.
A simple approach in assessing the impact of weather on rice yield in two rice growing seasons at Pattambi, Kerala
Authors: SAMUI R. P. , JOHN GRACY 
Published: May 2022

A study was conducted with high yielding Jaya variety of rice grown during kharif and rabi seasons in sandy loam soil under rainfed and irrigated condition respectively at Pattambi. The analysis was based on a simple multiple regression technique for developing, the equation and then considering one element at a time as variable when other elements were considered constant. The study enables determination of response of Jaya variety yield to different ranges of weather parameters in kharif and rabi seasons.

Rainfall was found to be negatively correlated with yield in both the rice growing seasons when water requirement is fully met from rainfall or when it is grown under irrigated condition in rabi season. Very high rainfall in kharif or relatively high rainfall in rabi season were found detrimental causing reduction in rice yield in both\ the seasons. For both the seasons mean maximum and minimum temperature of 29° C and about 22° C appear ideal for optimum yield. More hours of bright Sunshine (³700 hours) during rabi season favoured higher rice yield where as yield remained more or less constant when the kharif rice experienced bright sunshine in the range of 300 to 500 hours.

Authors: KULANDAIVELU E. , PESHIN S. K. 
Published: May 2022

The latest state-of-art equipment called Brewer Ozone Spectrophotometer has been installed at Maitri, the permanent Indian Scientific Research Station, Antarctica in July 1999 to monitor total ozone, damaging part of ultra-violet radiation (D-UV), sulphur dioxide (SO­­­2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO­­­2). The depletion of ozone and its fluctuation were monitored day by day during Antarctic spring season (August-October). The data collected during the year 2000 are analysed in this paper. The values of total ozone and D-UV are compared in each month. The sudden increase or decrease of D-UV confirms further depletion or recovery of ozone in the successive days during the spring season. The measurements confirm the existence of 'Ozone Hole' over Antarctica 2000. The measurements of SO­­­2 and NO­­­2 at Maitri show very low values.

Published: May 2022

CERES-Rice model incorporated in DSSAT ver 3.5 was used to simulate the rice (var: IR 36) yields for the period 1973-2002. The input data required for running the model viz., soil and weather data were collected from the Departments of Soil Science and Agrometeorology of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur, respectively.
The results revealed that the potential yields of rice varied from 81.97 to 105.50 q ha-1 and 39.74 to 89.49 q ha-1 under irrigated and rainfed conditions respectively during the study period. If years of different rainfall situations were considered the yield reduction due to water stress under rainfed conditions ranged from 3.87 to 61.44 q ha-1 as compared to irrigated conditions indicating that under good rainfall conditions the rainfed rice yields are as good as irrigated rice yields.
