Abstract
To investigate association between meridional temperature and Outgoing longwave Radiation (OLR) over Indian region starting from Arabian Sea (AS) to Bay of Bengal (BOB) analysis is performed using Atmospheric Infra Red Sounder (AIRS) satellite temperature and outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) data of 6 years (2005-2010) . Temperature variations and OLR have been studied and their association have been shown for summer March-April-May (MAM), summer monsoon June-July-August-September (JJAS) and winter November-December-January-February (NDJF) months. It was observed that during MAM and NDJF the temperature increases latitudinally by ~2-3K and ~4-5K from 3.5oN to 20.5oN respectively. However the temperature decreases by ~2.0-2.5K during JJAS. Analysis suggests the latitudinal change in temperature occurs due to low OLR (proxy of convection) and its northward progression during summer monsoon. Correlation coefficient (Rxy) between OLR and temperature is computed latitudinally (3.5oN to 20.5oN) at different longitudes which is found quite high (~0.92) for summers and winters. However during JJAS, Rxy is negative (~ -0.73) over 60oE and 70oE longitudes but it turns positive (~0.92) over 80oE and 90oE longitudes (which is convectively active region) suggesting a close association between temperature and OLR.
