Wind Conditions in the Cua Viet River Area During the Southwest Monsoon.

Abstract

Surface wind conditions in the Cua Viet River area are examined to determine the nature of the strong, southwesterly, Winds-of-Laos situations which occur during the Southwest Monsoon. A preliminary indicator of not only the intensity and areal coverage of these strong winds, but also their diurnal variability, is found in the 850-mb. and 2,000-ft. flow over eastern Thailand.
