On the physical interpretation of the lead relation between Warm Water Volume and the El Ni�o Southern Oscillation
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019)
The Warm Water Volume (WWV), a proxy for the equatorial Pacific heat content, is the most widely used oceanic precursor of the El Ni�o Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The standard interpretation of this lead relation in the ...
Western Pacific Oceanic Heat Content: A Better Predictor of La Ni�a Than of El Ni�o
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)
The western equatorial Pacific oceanic heat content (warm water volume in the west or WWVw) is the best El Ni�o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictor beyond 1-year lead. Using observations and selected Coupled Model ...
Remote influences on the Indian monsoon low-level jet intraseasonal variations
(Springer, 2020)
A strong low-level jet (LLJ), also known as the Findlater jet, develops over the Arabian Sea during the Indian summer monsoon. This jet is an essential source of moisture for monsoonal rainfall over the densely-populated ...
A sustained ocean observing system in the indian ocean for climate related scientific knowledge and societal needs
(2019)
The Indian Ocean is warming faster than any of the global oceans and its climate is uniquely driven by the presence of a landmass at low latitudes, which causes monsoonal winds and reversing currents. The food, water, and ...
Natural decadal sea-level variability in the Indian Ocean: lessons from CMIP models
(2019)
Indian Ocean decadal sea-level variability is an active research area, with many unresolved questions due to inadequate observational coverage. In this study, we analyse 26 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) ...
Mesoscale simulation of tropical cyclones in the South Pacific: Climatology and interannual variability
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
The Weather Research and Forecast model at 1/3 degree resolution is used to simulate the statistics of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the present climate of the South Pacific. In addition to the large-scale conditions, ...
A roadmap to IndOOS-2: Better observations of the rapidly-warming Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)
The Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS), established in 2006, is a multinational network of sustained oceanic measurements that underpin understanding and forecasting of weather and climate for the Indian Ocean region ...
Extreme Events
(CLIVAR/IOC-GOOS Indian Ocean Region Panel (IORP), 2019)
Extreme Events such as Tropical cyclones, Marine heat waves (MHW) etc has to be accurately observed. TC intensification is influenced by SST and upper ocean stratification, while MHWs are influenced by air-sea flux and ...
Tropical explosive volcanic eruptions can trigger El Ni�o by cooling tropical Africa
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
Stratospheric aerosols from large tropical explosive volcanic eruptions backscatter shortwave radiation and reduce the global mean surface temperature. Observations suggest that they also favour an El Ni�o within 2 years ...
Modulation of the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Plume by the Indian Ocean Dipole and Eddies Inferred From Satellite Observations
(Wiley, 2017)
The Bay of Bengal receives large amounts of freshwater from the Ganga?Brahmaputra (GB) river during the summer monsoon. The resulting upper?ocean freshening influences seasonal rainfall, cyclones, and biological productivity. ...
