From the upper air data recorded by the Russian research vessels and the Indian ships in the Bay of Bengal during July 1979 under Monex-79 programme, the radio refractive indices (RRI) valid for surface, 850, 700 and 500 mb were calculated. The time and space variations have been discussed. The comparison of RRI values from observations at a coastal station and from a ship in the mid seas at the same latitude is interesting.
