    • Basin-wide seasonal evolution of the Indian Ocean's phytoplankton blooms 

      Levy, M.; Shankar, D.; Andre, J.M.; Shenoi, S.S.C.; Durand, F.; DeBoyer Montegut, C. (American Geophysical Union, 2007)
      A climatology of Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) chlorophyll data over the Indian Ocean is used to examine the bloom variability patterns, identifying spatio-temporal contrasts in bloom appearance and ...
    • Modeling the barrier-layer formation in the South-Eastern Arabian Sea 

      Durand, F.; Shankar, D.; DeBoyer Montegut, C.; Shenoi, S.S.C.; Blanke, B.; Madec, G. (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 ...
    • Simulated seasonal and interannual variability of mixed layer heat budget in the northern Indian Ocean 

      DeBoyer Montegut, C.; Vialard, J.; Shenoi, S.S.C.; Shankar, D.; Durand, F.; Ethe, C.; Madec, G. (American Meteorological Society, 2007)
      A global Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) is used to investigate the mixed layer heat budget of the Northern Indian Ocean (NIO). The model is validated against observations and shows a fairly good agreement with mixed ...
