     Under the BOBBLE (Bay of Bengal Boundary Layer Experiment - BoBBLE), the Indian Science Institute of Bangalore and the University of East Anglia of the United Kingdom have jointly formed an action plan for accurate forecasting of monsoon, tropical cyclones and weather.                                                                                 What is BOBBLE      BOBBLE is a joint India-United Kingdom project that examines the impact of oceanic processes operating in the Bay of Bengal on the monsoon system. Finance for this project is provided by the Ministry of Earth Sciences of India and the Natural Research Council of the United Kingdom. It is known that th...
