Description
Summary:"This paper describes the procedure and results of a surface isotherm analysis of the North Indian Ocean for June 1920, a dry monsoon year, and June 1933, a wet monsoon year. It was found that June sea-surface temperatures were higher during the year of excessive rainfall as compared to a year of deficient rainfall. This positive parallelism is evidence which supports the hypothesis that the amount of rainfall over India during the southwest monsoon depends upon the variation of the surface temperature of the North Indian Ocean"--Abstract. === "August 15, 1952." === Typescript. === "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." === Includes bibliographical references (leaf 14).
