The Monsoons explores India’s monsoon system and the scientific efforts to understand its origins, movement and effects. P. K. Das discusses the 1979 Monsoon Experiment, the use of weather satellites to locate cyclonic storms over the Indian Ocean, and the relationship between monsoon behaviour and regional climates. The book also considers atmospheric concerns and the importance of the monsoon to India’s national life and heritage. It is a useful introduction for readers interested in meteorology, geography, climate and the environment.
