Abstract

Views of Flohn (1965, 1966) and of Ramage (1966) regarding the causes of aridity and inversion over the desert areas of West Pakistan and neighbourhood have been examined. It is shown on the basis of climatic features of the area that the inversion is due to air masses andnot due to subsidence; the aridity of the region is due to absence usually of a mechanism which can break up the inversion andnot due to the restricted depth of the moist current.
