Abstract

The annual and the half-yearly oscillations in the mean temperature of air at 4 feet above ground level at 167 meteorological stations in India and neighbourhood. have been separated. The dependence of the components of the vectors of the different Oscillations on the location of the stations have been determined. Regression equations for representing the components of the oscillations as a linear function of latitude, longitude and elevation have been derived. The fit of these representations has been found to be fairly good, the correlation between the actual and the calculated values being of the order of 0. 8 to 0. 9 generally. The significance of the gradients with respect to the positional co-ordinates have been discussed.
