Abstract

There is an intensive need to study the dynamics of the heavy rainfall events as the intensity and frequency of such events have increased over Indian subcontinent in a warming scenario. Large scale synoptic signatures of such local events help in differentiating between heavy rain and normal rain events and hence it is beneficial to look upon these events from a large scale flow perspective. In this study, three case studies have been taken into consideration i.e. Gujarat (29th June-2nd July 2005), Maharashtra (26th -27th July, 29th July-2nd August 2005) and Ratnagiri (30th May-1st June 2006).
