Abstract:

Influence of the westerly waves upon the tropical low pressure system is a fact known since many years now. However the paper brings out the impact of the upper tropospheric (500 mb) westerly trough on the low pressure as a means of development, intensification and northwards movement of the LPS. The study is based upon the case study of September 1988 flood event which is one of the major historic floods of Indo Pak for the rivers Bias, Sutlej and Chenab.
