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 ...
Comparison of tropical cyclogenesis indices on seasonal to interannual timescales
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)
The performances of four cyclogenesis indices against observed tropical cyclone genesis on a global scale over the period 1979–2001 are evaluated. These indices are: the Genesis Potential Index; the Yearly Genesis Parameter; ...
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 ...
Decadal and long-term sea level variability in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean
(Springer, 2013)
Decadal and long-term steric sea level variations over 1966-2007 period in the Indo-Pacific sector were analysed using an ocean general circulation model forced by reanalysis winds. The simulated steric sea level compares ...
TropFlux wind stresses over the tropical oceans: Evaluation and comparison with other products
(Springer, 2013)
We present TropFlux wind stresses and evaluate them against observations along with other widely used daily air-sea momentum flux products (NCEP, NCEP2, ERA-I and QuikSCAT). TropFlux wind stresses are computed from the ...
Processes controlling the surface temperature signature of the Madden–Julian Oscillation in the thermocline ridge of the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2011)
During boreal winter, there is a prominent maximum of intraseasonal sea-surface temperature (SST) variability associated with the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) along a Thermocline Ridge located in the southwestern Indian ...
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°) ...
Global assessment of tropical cyclone intensity statistical-dynamical hindcasts
(Wiley, 2017)
This paper assesses the characteristics of linear statistical models developed for tropical cyclone (TC) intensity prediction at global scale. To that end, multilinear regression models are developed separately for each ...
Interannual variability of the South Pacific Convergence Zone and implications for tropical cyclone genesis
(Springer, 2011)
The interannual variability of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) and its influence on tropical cyclone (TC) genesis in the South Pacific are investigated using observations and ERA40 reanalysis over the 1979– 2002 ...
Dominant role of winds near Sri Lanka in driving seasonal sea level variations along the west coast of India
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2016)
The strong seasonal cycle of sea level along the west coast of India (WCI) has important consequences for ecosystem and fisheries, and the Lakshadweep high/low in the southeast Arabian Sea is important for fisheries and ...
