Observational evidence for westward propagation of temperature inversions in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
A warm pool forms in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) prior to the onset of the summer monsoon over India in early June; the core
of this warm pool is in the Lakshadweep Sea (LS). XBT and surface salinity data collected ...
Why is mean sea level along the Indian coast higher in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian Sea?
(Americal Geophysical Union, 2001)
Levelling observations conducted during the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India (1858-1909) and subsequent observations showed that mean sea level along the coast of India is higher in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian ...
Vertical propagation of baroclinic Kelvin waves along the west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
A linear, continuously stratified ocean model is used to investigate vertical propagation of remotely forced, baroclinic Kelvin waves along the Indian west coast. The extent of vertical propagation over the length of the ...
Seasonal cycle of sea level and currents along the coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)
A framework involving long baroclinic waves, which treats the north Indian Ocean
as a single dynamical entity, has been remarkably successful in simulating the
low-frequency, large-scale circulation in the ocean. It is, ...
Biophysical processes in the Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Basic physical processes that impact biological activity in the Indian Ocean (IO), namely, near-surface processes (upwelling, entrainment, detrainment, and advection) and subsurface circulations (shallow overturning cells ...
Resolving orographic rainfall on the Indian west coast
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2008)
We discuss a method to obtain the spatial estimates of rainfall on the Indian west coast for calculating the surface water budget. The region includes the basin of the Mandovi River, a typical west-coast river whose catchment ...
Link between convection and meridional gradient of sea surface temperature in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
We use daily satellite estimates of sea surface temperature (SST) and rainfall during 1998-2005 to show that onset of convection over the central Bay of Bengal (88-92E, 14-18N) during the core summer monsoon (mid-May to ...
Remote forcing annihilates barrier layer in southeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
Time-series measurements of temperature and salinity profiles were made every two hours at 74 deg 30'E, 9 deg 13'N in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during 22 March to 7 April and 23 May to 7 June 2003 as part of ...
Modeling the barrier-layer formation in the South-Eastern Arabian Sea
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)
The effect of salinity on the formation of the barrier layer (BL) in the South-Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) is investigated using an ocean general circulation model. In accordance with previous studies, the runoff distribution ...
Intraseasonal response of the northern Indian Ocean coastal waveguide to the Madden-Julian Oscillation
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
A new observational record of upper-ocean currents at 15 degrees N on the western coast of India is dominated by intraseasonal (55-110 day) variations of alongshore currents, whereas sea level at the same location has a ...
