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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
