Analysis of wind, air temperature, humidity and rainfall data from Land Surface Processes Experiment (LASPEX) in the surface layer at Anand (22°35'N, 72°55'E) and Khandha (22°02'N, 73°11'E) during January to December 1997 is presented. Wind and temperature at various levels showed prominent diurnal variation. Progression of daily wind and temperature revealed the intra-seasonal, quasi-biweekly and 6-9 day oscillations indicated large-scale convection, transport of heat and water vapor from Arabian Sea towards these stations. Power spectrum of wind and humidity corroborated the planetary scale Madden-Julian oscillation in the surface layer. Periodic oscillations of 21, 6-9, 1 day and 12 h were prominent in the spectrum of all variables. Low-frequency spectral peaks showed the energy in wind is 2-3 times higher over Khandha than at Anand whereas temperature is 3 times higher at Anand than Khandha.
