RAMA: The Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (including supplement)
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)
The Indian Ocean is unique among the three tropical ocean basins in that it is blocked at 25 degrees N by the Asian landmass. Seasonal heating and cooling of the land sets the stage for dramatic monsoon wind reversals, ...
Surface and subsurface geostrophic current variability in the Indian Ocean from altimetry
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
Geostrophic currents were calculated at the surface and subsurface levels in the Indian Ocean using satellite altimetry data from TOPEX/POSEIDON and Jason-1, a geoid obtained from the GRACE mission, and historical hydrographic ...
Monsoonal reversal of remote sensing biases in latent heat flux over eastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)
The Arabian Sea is a unique basin where a number of atmospheric and oceanographic processes occur due to the contrasting climatic conditions, which it experiences. The drastic monsoonal variability occurring in the boundary ...
Mismo field experiment in the equatorial Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)
The Mirai Indian Ocean cruise for the Study of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO)-convection Onset (MISMO) was a field experiment that took place in the central equatorial Indian Ocean during October-December 2006, using ...
Intraseasonal meridional current variability in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
Intraseasonal variability in meridional current in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean is investigated by use of results from a high-resolution ocean general circulation model. Both the simulated and observed meridional ...
Ocean-atmosphere interactions during cyclone Nargis
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Cyclone Nargis (Figure 1a) made landfall in Myanmar (formerly Burma) on 2 May 2008 with sustained winds of approximately 210 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category 3-4 hurricane. In addition, Nargis brought approximately ...
