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 ...
A simple estimation of equatorial Pacific response from windstress to untangle Indian Ocean dipole and basin influences on El Nino
(Springer, 2016)
Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies that develop in spring in the central Pacific are crucial to the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) development. Here we use a linear, continuously stratified, ocean model, and its ...
The NOW regional coupled model: Application to the tropical Indian Ocean climate and tropical cyclone activity
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
This paper presents the NOW regional coupled ocean-atmosphere model built from the NEMO ocean and WRF atmospheric numerical models. This model is applied to the tropical Indian Ocean, with the oceanic and atmospheric ...
Intraseasonal variability of mixed layer depth in the tropical Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2016)
In this paper, we use an observational dataset built from Argo in situ profiles to describe the main large-scale patterns of intraseasonal mixed layer depth (MLD) variations in the Indian Ocean. An eddy permitting (0.25°) ...
Assessment of seasonal and year-to-year surface salinity signals retrieved from SMOS and Aquarius missions in the Bay of Bengal
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) exhibits a wide range of sea surface salinity (SSS), with very fresh water induced by heavy monsoonal precipitation and river run-offs to the north, and saltier water to the south. This is a ...
Salinity measurements collected by fishermen reveal a ``River in the Sea`` flowing along the eastern coast of India
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)
Being the only tropical ocean bounded by a continent to the north, the Indian Ocean is home to the most powerful monsoon system on Earth. Monsoonal rains and winds induce huge river discharges and strong coastal currents ...
Influence of upper ocean stratification interannual variability on tropical cyclones
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Climate modes, such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), influence Tropical Cyclones ~ (TCs) interannual activity through their effect on large-scale atmospheric environment. These climate modes also induce interannual ...
About the role of westerly wind events in the possible development of an El Nino in 2014
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Similarities between early 1997 and 2014 has prompted climate scientists to wonder if an El Niño matching the 1997 “El Niño of the century” could develop in 2014. Until April 2014, the equatorial Pacific exhibited positive ...
Ocean feedback to tropical cyclones: Climatology and processes
(Springer, 2014)
This study presents the first multidecadal and coupled regional simulation of cyclonic activity in the South Pacific. The long-term integration of state-of the art models provides reliable statistics, missing in usual event ...
Oceanic mesoscale turbulence drives large biogeochemical interannual variability at middle and high latitudes
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Observed phytoplankton interannual variability has been commonly related to atmospheric variables and climate indices. Here we showed that such relation is highly hampered by internal variability associated with oceanic ...
