Scientific paper

The split window (11mum and 12mum in combination) on board NOAA-9 was used to see the contrast of convective activity, sea surface temperature (SST) and water vapor amount associated with the 1987 and 1988 Indian summer monsoons. Convective activity estimated by the split window over southern India was depressed in 1987, especially during July. SST over the Arabian Sea was a little colder in 1988 than in 1987. On the other hand, water vapor amount over the Arabian Sea was higher in 1988 than in 1987. The enhancement (suppression) of convection over India during July corresponded to larger (smaller) water vapor amount and to colder (warmer) SST over the Arabian Sea. Water vapor amount over the Arabian Sea tends to increase about 30% in comparison to east of Somalia in both years. SST to east of Somalia decrease (increase) with the increase (decrease) of low-level Somali jet. However, the magnitude of SST decrease over the area does not directly correspond to the magnitude of low-level Somali jet.
