The ship's data collected over the oceanic region bounded by 30oN to 40°S and 20oE to 140°E during International Indian Ocean Expedition (IlOE) period have been machine processed for the computation of various energy parameters of the heat budget across the air-sea interface, An attempt is made to evaluate the evaporation over the region for the months of January, April, July and October 1963 and 1964, Comparison with climatological values of evaporation as well as with earlier studies by other authors show that the evaporation computed for 1963 as well as 1964 is higher.
