Evidence for the existence of Persian Gulf water and Red Sea water in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2017)The high-salinity water masses that originate in the North Indian Ocean are Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW), Persian Gulf Water (PGW), and Red Sea Water (RSW). Among them, only ASHSW has been shown to exist in the ... -
Low-frequency variability of sea level along the coast of India
(1998)Coastal sea level is one of the better documented oceanic variables, there being several tide-gauge records of hourly sea level that stretch back to the last century. This, together with the fact that geostrophic, low-frequency ... -
Numerical model for wind-driven circulation in the Bay of Bengal
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)Wind-driven circulation in the Bay of Bengal, generated by a southwest wind of constant speed (10 m.sec -1) and direction (225 degrees TN), is presented. A non-linear hydrodynamic model is used for the simulation of ... -
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 ... -
On the sea surface temperature high in the Lakshadweep Sea before the onset of the southwest monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)The north Indian Ocean becomes the warmest area of the world oceans prior to the onset of southwest monsoon in June. During this period a zonal band of high sea surface temperature (SST), the ``thermal equator'' (TE), moves ... -
Report on the "Bay of Bengal and Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX) - NIO component" under the Indian Climate Research Program (ICRP) (DST project file No: ES/48/ICRP/001/99) submitted to Department of Science Technology, New Delhi
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2003)The objectives of the BOBMEX-Oceanography Component programme is to understand: (1) Variability of upper ocean currents in relation to changing wind and thermohaline forcings, (2) Upper ocean thermodynamic processes on ... -
Seasonal cycle of sea level and currents along the coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)A framework involving long baroclinic waves, which treats the north Indian Ocean as a single dynamical entity, has been remarkably successful in simulating the low-frequency, large-scale circulation in the ocean. It is, ... -
The monsoon currents in the north Indian Ocean
(Pergamon (Elsevier), 2002)The monsoon currents are the seasonally reversing, open-ocean currents that flow between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the two wings of the north Indian Ocean. The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) flows eastward ...
