In this paper a study has been made of the essential features of the cirrus canopy .of twenty cases of severe cyclonic storms in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea as revealed in satellite pictures received at Bombay during the period 1966.1969. Making use of a simple model proposed by Merrit and Wexler, the nature of the distribution of the radial and tangential components of outflow in the different quadrants is examined in each case and its relation to the direction of motion of the storm is discussed.
