Rectangle encloses the monsoon region. Hatched areas are monsoonal areas according to surface wind criteria. Heavy line marks the northern limits of the region with low frequencies of surface cyclone-anticyclone alternations in summer and winter. This figure is reproduced from the Fig. Plan view of an idealized easterly wave model in the Caribbean area.
Hatched area indicates main rainfall zone.
This figure is reproduced from the Fig. Vertical exaggeration about 50 times. This figure is reproduced from the Fig. Composite chart of wind distributions in a Kona storm. Units are miles of wind movement in 24 hours, expressed in terms of deviation from maximum wind speed.
