    Abstract
    The paper presents the circulation pattern in the upper 500 metres of the western Bay of Bengal between 9 degrees N and 16 degrees N during the south-west monsoon period, based on the geo-potential anomalies computed from the hydrographic data. The circulation is characterised by two anti-cyclonic cells centred at 11 degrees N 83 degrees E and 16 degrees N 85 degrees E with a zone of strong cyclonic shear between them. The strength of the circulation decreases with depth and it becomes feeble below a depth of 400 metres. The level of least motion is situated around 500 metres depth. The methodology in choosing the reference level is discussed
