A study of the convectively driven monsoon boundary layer has been carried out using the aerological observations collected during  the Monsoon Trough Boundary Layer Experiment - 1990. The observations  have been obtained over the monsoon trough region for the stations  Ranchi, Bhubaneswar and Calcutta during the break conditions of  monsoon ( 26 July - 1 August 1990). The analysis technique includes  Saturation point concept, mixing line analysis and conserved variable  diagrams. The conserved variable plots for the stations Ranchi,  Bhubaneswar and Calcutta revealed that the Convective Boundary Layer  during the monsoon season is represented by a single mixing line  structure with variation in stability. However, the convective  boundary layers observed at Ranchi were found to be more saturated as  compared to those at Bhubaneswar and Calcutta during the break monsoon  conditions. The results of the study are discussed in paper with  respect to the position of the monsoon trough
