This paper describes the observations taken on I.N.S. Investigator, during the ship's last survey season in the Andaman Islands, The work done during the voyage was (a) measurement of temperature, density and salinity in the surface waters of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, and (b) measurement of the humidity wind gradient in the lower layers of the atmosphere above the sea.
The observations of salinity during the voyage have been compared with the earlier work of Sewell (1938). In addition, attempts have been made to estimate evaporation from the observations of humidity gradient. The wind observations have also been analysed to see what agreement they give with Rossby's earlier results.
