The structure of a monsoon low over the Bay of Bengal during 3-6 July 1979 and cover the land on 9 July 1979 has been investigated in respect of wind, temperature, vertical tilt, relative humidity, relative vorticity and vergence. The structure of the depression of the respective parameters was also analysed when the low concentrated into a depression on 7 and 8 July over the Bay. Certain similarities and dissimilarities between their structures have been noticed and the important features observed during the intensification of the system have been described.
