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 ...
Climate fluctuations of tropical coupled systems — The role of ocean dynamics
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)
The tropical oceans have long been recognized as the most important region for large-scale ocean-atmosphere interactions, giving rise to coupled climate variations on several time scales. During the TOGA decade, the focus ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comment on "The Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake of 26 December 2004"
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2005)
Lay et al. (Special Section, 20 May 2005, p.1127) estimated a 600-km length for the tsunami source region. Adding tide-gauge data from Paradip, the northernmost of the Indian east-coast stations and therefore the most ...
