Summary: | The records of VLF atmospherics over Calcutta
and then over Kalyani (West Bengal) during the torrential rainfall, caused by
violent monsoon and post-monsoon depressions, exhibit distinct long-period
fadings both at day and night. Interesting results obtained from an analysis of
round-the-clock atmospherics data and associated meteorological parameters are
reported in this paper. A possible correlation between the severe meteorological
activity with the solar geophysical phenomena was studied. The results are
indicative of an interesting sequence of solar-terrestrial events. A tentative
conclusion is reached, suggesting an origin of the fading from atmospheric
gravity waves generated in the centre of activity of the depressions concerned.<br><br><b>Key words.</b> Meteorology and atmospheric dynamics ·
