Deep Convective cells observed during the ISM season. The vertical profile for monthly air temperature and vertical wind velocity for the period from 1979 to 2018 highlighting formation of deeper convective cells during the ISM season. These deeper convective cells formed during ISM seem to be smaller in geographical extent than large scale organized convective cell, and localised as evident from variation in CAPE, CIN and ET values over a smaller geographical extent (See Fig. 2). The plots are generated for the rectangular grid ranging from 23.72°N–28°N, and 89°E–96.18°E.
