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 ...
A modeling study of the processes of surface salinity seasonal cycle in the Bay of Bengal.
(AGU, 2014)
In response to the Indian Monsoon freshwater forcing, the Bay of Bengal exhibits a very strong seasonal cycle in sea surface salinity (SSS), especially near the mouths of the Ganges-Brahmaputra and along the east coast of ...
Influence of upper-ocean stratification on tropical cyclone-induced surface cooling in the Bay of Bengal
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)
Surface cooling induced by tropical cyclones (TCs) is about three times larger during premonsoon than during postmonsoon season in the Bay of Bengal. We investigate processes responsible for this seasonal contrast using ...
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 ...
Origins of wind-driven intraseasonal sea level variations in the North Indian Ocean coastal waveguide
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
In this paper, it is shown that a linear, continuously stratified ocean model reproduces observed wind-driven intraseasonal sea level variability in the coastal waveguide of the Northern Indian Ocean (NIO). Sensitivity ...
Interannual variability of the tropical Indian Ocean mixed layer depth
(Springer, 2013)
Interannual fluctuations of the mixed layer depth (MLD) in the tropical Indian Ocean are investigated from a long-term (1960-2007) eddy permitting numerical simulation and a new observational dataset built from hydrographic ...
Surface layer temperature inversion in the Bay of Bengal: Main characteristics and related mechanisms
(American Geophysical Union, 2016)
Surface layer temperature inversion (SLTI), a warm layer sandwiched between surface and subsurface colder waters, has been reported to frequently occur in conjunction with barrier layers in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), with ...
The impact of global warming on the tropical Pacific ocean and El Nino
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010)
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a naturally occurring fluctuation that originates in the tropical Pacific region and affects ecosystems, agriculture, freshwater supplies, hurricanes and other severe weather ...
Sea-level-rise trends off the Indian coasts during the last two decades
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present communication discusses sea-level-rise trends in the north Indian Ocean, particularly off the Indian coasts, based on estimates derived from satellite altimeter and tide-gauge data. Altimeter data analysis over ...
Tropical cyclones in two atmospheric (re)analyses and their response in two oceanic reanalyses
(Elsevier, 2014)
In this paper, we first evaluate the ability of the European Centre for Medium Range Forecast operational analysis and the ERA-Interim reanalysis to capture the surface wind signature of tropical cyclones (TCs). In those ...
