Exploring a vast area where failure of monsoon rains can have disastrous results, Structure of an Arabian Sea Summer Monsoon System is the first of a series of atlases and monographs to be published about the meteorological phase (1963-64) of the International Indian Ocean ExpeditionThe International Indian Ocean Expedition (1960-65) was designed to observe, describe, and possibly explain the circulations of ocean and atmosphere, the exchanges across their interface, the chemical composition and distribution of living things in the ocean, and the bottom topography and coastal structure of an ocean which is more extensive than Asia and Africa combined. Involving the scientific staffs and equipment of some 25 countries, 44 research vessels, and numerous airborne data-collecting devices and satellites, the expedition was planned by a scientific committee on oceanic research (SCOR) of the International Council of Scientific Unions and was jointly sponsored by SCOR and UNESCO.
