Abstract:

The Southeast Asia SEASIA meteorological research program carried out during the past few years at the Navy Weather Research Facility has emphasized weather phenomena and circulation features associated primarily with the Northeast Monsoon, and secondarily with the Summer Monsoon. This publication summarizes preliminary results of work on the spring transformation season. Following a brief discussion of climatological variations from March to June, it describes the characteristic synoptic events of this season and presents a case study of a typical late spring surge.
