A single level quasi-geostrophic barotropic model and a two level quasi-geostrophic baroclinic model have been integrated to study the behaviour of monsoonal flow. The data utilized are those collected during the summer Monsoon Experiment (Monex-79). The movement of monsoon depressions, an important feature of monsoonal flow, is studied in particular by these models. The comparative performance of the models is also examined.
