<p>During Summer Monsoon, the wind flows from Indian ocean to land mass, and due to Coriolis force it bends right, and hits western ghats almost perpendicularly, and Kerala, Southern most west coast state gets orographic rain in windward side of the Western Ghats.

<p>I was wondering that if theoretically if we build artificial mountains (annotated in red), we should be able to get orographic rains along east coasts? I am not sure how much of the South West monsoon wind flows over the landmass of southern India and how moist it is?, as it is likely the western ghats block them significantly. Where and how can I find and interpret the wind data?</p>

Can you share page/slide number please? it is a pretty big document. I am not headed anywhere, was reading up about monsoon, and was wondering if it was theoretically plausible. But to figure that out on my own, I needed to fill my knowledge gaps about finding availability of monsoon wind in the landmass and its data

It seems like that they are trying to harness North East Monsoon? I am specifically looking for south west monsoon wind patterns over the Tamilnadu landmass

Thanks for validating the idea, which is part of the question. Also, do you know how to find summer monsoon wind data?
