Abstract
A fluctuation in the intensity of the Somali low-level jet flowing along the East African coast during the Indian summer monsoon is studied. It is shown that this variation of the intensity of cross-equatorial flow in western Indian Ocean results from the interaction between extratropical perturbations moving eastward at midlatitudes of the Southern Hemisphere and southeast trade winds of the monsoon circulation over the southern equatorial Indian Ocean.Keywords
