    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es werden Ergebnisse von Messungen der Radon-Aktivität, die während des Monson-77 Beobachtungsprogrammes über der Arabischen See und der Bucht von Bengalen durchgeführt worden sind, dargelegt und zusammen mit Beobachtungsdaten des früheren ISMEX-73 Programmes (Indisch-sowjetisches Monsun-Experiment) diskutiert. Der Radon-Gehalt in der Monsun-Region zeigt beträchtliche Änderungen im Ausmaß von 1 bis 15 pCi pro m3 Luft. Die Werte über der Arabischen See zeigen eine merkliche Zunahme in Breiten um 20°N, die Werte von 8 bis 10 pCi/m3 erreicht, womit auf eine gesteigerte Zufuhr von kontinentaler Luft hingewiesen wird. In niedrigeren Breiten liegen die Werte bei wenigen pCi/m3, was für maritime Luft in den äquatorialen Gebieten charakteristisch ist. Kontinuierliche Messungen an weit voneinander entfernt gelegenen festen Stationen in der Arabischen See ergaben ähnliche Änderungen im Radon-Gehalt. Diese Änderungen scheinen mit Monsunstörungen und ihrer Verlagerung gegen Westen in Verbindung zu stehen, die eine Verminderung des Radon-Gehaltes durch eine Verstärkung der Monsunströmung aus Süden, die nur einen geringen Radon-Gehalt hat, mit sich bringen. In der Bucht von Bengalen zeigen sich niedrigere Radon-Werte während Monsunpausen. Dies könnte darauf zurückzuführen sein, daß während Monsunpausen ein Isobarenverlauf in Nord-Süd-Richtung vorherrscht, wodurch äquatoriale maritime Luft direkt in die Bucht von Bengalen geführt wird, ohne über das Festland von Indien zu kommen.Während des Monsuns kommen die Luftmassen aber erst nach Überstreichen von Indien in die Bucht von Bengalen und haben daher größeren Radon-Gehalt. Nahe der Küste ist der Radon-Gehalt erwartungsgemäß groß.
    Notes: Summary Measurements of Radon activity carried-out during the Monsoon-77 Observational Programme over the Arabian Sea—Bay of Bengal Region are presented and discussed along with the earlier ISMEX-73 data. Levels of radon within the monsoon region show considerable variations in the range of one to fifteen picocuries per cubic meter of air. The levels in the Arabian Sea showed a marked increase at latitudes near-about 20°N, reaching values of eight to ten picocuries per cubic meter, thereby suggesting increased input of continental air. At lower latitudes, the levels are a few picocuries per cubic meter which is characteristics of maritime air from equatorial regions. Continuous measurements at stationary positions in the Arabian sea at widely separated locations show similar variations in radon levels. These variations seem to be connected with monsoon disturbances and their westward movements which reduce radon levels due to the strengthening of the southerly monsoon current having low radon content. In the Bay of Bengal, there is some evidence of lower radon values during “break” monsoon conditions. This could be due to the prevailing pressure pattern during the “breaks” with isobars running in north-south direction resulting in the movement of equatorial maritime air mass directly to the Bay without going over the land mass of India. During strong monsoon conditions, the air mass enters the Bay after travelling over India and consequently has higher randon levels. Near the coast, randon values are high, as is to be expected.

    Notes: Abstract Radon-222 activity levels have been measured at deck level in regions of the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, and Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon periods of 1973, 1977, and 1979, as part of the Monex programme. The aim of the measurements was to find the source regions of the monsoon air and the variations in its composition under different synoptic conditions. The radon data confirm that the monsoon air is predominantly of southern-hemisphere origin, with a small continental component. The continental component, as indicated by radon values, increases at higher latitudes and seems to vary with different circulation patterns in the synoptic scale. The use of radon as a tracer in monsoon studies is thus demonstrated.
