Detailed study on the formation and movement of monsoon depressions formed a part of the scientific objectives of the summer Monex-79 programme. During the field phase extensive data were collected by aircraft probing mission. This additional data have been examined to study its effect on the analysis, both objective and subjective methods the necessary condition for the existence of barotropic instability in the observed data has also-been investigated.
The study has revealed that good forecasts are not achieved in some cases even when good coverage of data is available.
