Abstract
A marine boundary layer experiment was conducted at Digha, West Bengal, India, to determine the role of the atmospheric boundary layer on the Bay of Bengal cyclogenesis. The boundary layer experiment at Digha consisted of three main components: (1) a 10 m micrometeorological tower at the beach with instruments to observe turbulent fluxes of heat and momentum over the ocean; (2) a weather station that continuously recorded mean parameters; and (3) pilot balloon observations to a height of about 1000 m. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the preliminary results obtained through the analysis of the data.
