Abstract
IN the widest sense the term “monsoon” in climatology is applicable to those seasonal modifications, or subversions, of the planetary circulation which are established by the differences of temperature due to the irregular distribution of land and water, especially as seen in such regions as Eastern and Southern Asia, where a definite continental outflow of air. in winter, and inflow in summer, characterise the surface circulation.
