Importance of sea surface temperature (SST) over the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and the north Indian Ocean is studied in relation with the formation and m1intenan';e of the southwest monsoon over India. SST over southeast Arabian Sea close to the west coast of India becomes maximum before the onset of monsoon over Kerala. Crossing of the equator by southern hemispheric warm water seems to be related with the early or late onset of the monsoon. Magnitude of the difference between SST and air temperature during pre-onset weeks gives valuable hints for early/late and excess/deficient monsoon. A large warm winter mass up to the depth of 100 metres shifts towards the west coast of India before the onset of the monsoon. In 1979, back and forth movement of this water mass seems to be related with the different phases of the monsoon over India.

Meteorological conditions associated with the observance of a sharp smog bank near Riverside, Calif., are compared with those previously shown to be related to the development of winter fogs in California. The conditions are similar. Thus, it is proposed that three simple indices found useful in the prediction of west coast fog be used also to predict situations favorable to the shallow, sharp-banked smogs which have been observed. The indices measure the influence of the sea surface temperature field upon air warmed in downslope flow associated with easterly winds in the area.

The Vertical Distribution

The vertical distribution of the hydromedusa Aequorea ?forskalea was investigated using observations from the research submersible ‘Jago’ collected during 36 dives off the west coast of southern Africa during November 1997 and April 1999. The mean population depth of Aequorea ?forskalea deepened with increasing sea surface temperature. We suggest that this behaviour enables individuals to avoid offshore advection, to minimize spatial overlap with other large medusae and to maintain their position over the middle of the shelf.
