    • A reduction in marine primary productivity driven by rapid warming over the tropical Indian Ocean 

      Roxy, M.K.; Modi, A.; Murtugudde, R.; Valsala, V.; Panickal, S.; PrasannaKumar, S.; Ravichandran, M.; Vichi, M.; Levy, M. (American Geophysical Union, 2016)
      Among the tropical oceans, the western Indian Ocean hosts one of the largest concentrations of marine phytoplankton blooms in summer. Interestingly, this is also the region with the largest warming trend in sea surface ...
    • A roadmap to IndOOS-2: Better observations of the rapidly-warming Indian Ocean 

      Beal, L.M.; Vialard, J.; Roxy, M.K.; Li, J.; Andres, M.; Annamalai, H.; Feng, M.; Han, W.; Hood, R.; Lee, T.; Lengaigne, M.; Lumpkin, R.; Masumoto, Y.; McPhaden, M.J.; Ravichandran, M.; Shinoda, T.; Sloyan, B.M.; Strutton, P.G.; Subramanian, A.C.; Tozuka, T.; Ummenhofer, C.C.; Unnikrishnan, A.S.; Wiggert, J.; Yu, L.; Cheng, L.; Desbruyeres, D.G.; Parvathi, V. (American Meteorological Society, 2020)
      The Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS), established in 2006, is a multinational network of sustained oceanic measurements that underpin understanding and forecasting of weather and climate for the Indian Ocean region ...
    • A sustained ocean observing system in the indian ocean for climate related scientific knowledge and societal needs 

      Hermes, J.C.; Masumoto, Y.; Beal, L.M.; Roxy, M.K.; Vialard, J.; Andres, M.; Annamalai, H.; Behera, S.; DeAdamo, N.; Doi, T.; Feng, M.; Han, W.; Hardman-Mountford, N.; Hendon, H.; Hood, R.; Kido, S.; Lee, C.; Lee, T.; Lengaigne, M.; Li, J.; Lumpkin, R.; Navaneeth, K.N.; Milligan, B.; McPhaden, M.J.; Ravichandran, M.; Shinoda, T.; Singh, A.; Sloyan, B.; Strutton, P.G.; Subramanian, A.C.; Thurston, S.; Tozuka, T.; Ummenhofer, C.C.; Unnikrishnan, A.S.; Venkatesan, R.; Wang, D.; Wiggert, J.; Yu, L.; Yu, W. (2019)
      The Indian Ocean is warming faster than any of the global oceans and its climate is uniquely driven by the presence of a landmass at low latitudes, which causes monsoonal winds and reversing currents. The food, water, and ...
    • Extreme Events 

      Lengaigne, M.; Feng, M.; Neetu, S.; Barbary, D.; Ramsay, H.A.; Vialard, J.; Walsh, K. (CLIVAR/IOC-GOOS Indian Ocean Region Panel (IORP), 2019)
      Extreme Events such as Tropical cyclones, Marine heat waves (MHW) etc has to be accurately observed. TC intensification is influenced by SST and upper ocean stratification, while MHWs are influenced by air-sea flux and ...
    • Tide Gauges 

      Unnikrishnan, A.S.; Mathews, A.; Gravelle, M.; Testut, L.; Thorkild, A.; Woodworth, P.L.; AjayKumar, B. (CLIVAR/IOC-GOOS Indian Ocean Region Panel (IORP), 2019)
      Tide gauge measurements provide data for routine tidal predictions in ports as well as for extreme events such as storm surges and tsunamis. Along with satellite altimeter measurements, tide gauges also provide measurements ...
