Abstract
The Indian Climate Research Programme (ICRP) focuses on the study of climat e variability and its impact on agriculture. To address the role of the Bay of Bengal in monsoon variability, a process study was organised during Jul y-August 1999, deploying research ships, buoys, INSAT, coastal radar and co nventional observational systems to collect information about the coupled o cean-atmosphere system over the warm waters of the Bay of Bengal. The paper gives the background of the ICRP and the organisation and implementation o f the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX) in its field phase.
