Robustness of observation-based decadal sea level variability in the Indo-Pacific Ocean
(Wiley, 2017)
We examine the consistency of Indo-Pacific decadal sea level variability in 10 gridded, observation-based sea level products for the 1960-2010 period. Decadal sea level variations are robust in the Pacific, with more than ...
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 ...
Observed year-to-year sea surface salinity variability in the Bay of Bengal during the 2009–2014 period
(Springer, 2015)
The present study describes the observed sea surface salinity (SSS) interannual variability in the Bay of Bengal over the 2009–2014 period. It is based on an original compilation of all available in situ SSS observations ...
Impact of tropical cyclones on the heat budget of the south Pacific Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)
The integrated ocean response to tropical cyclones (TCs) in the South Pacific convergence zone through a complete ocean heat budget was investigated. The TC impact analysis is based on the comparison between two long-term ...
Mesoscale simulation of tropical cyclones in the South Pacific: Climatology and interannual variability
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
The Weather Research and Forecast model at 1/3 degree resolution is used to simulate the statistics of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the present climate of the South Pacific. In addition to the large-scale conditions, ...
Interannual variability of zonal currents in the equatorial Indian Ocean: respective control of IOD and ENSO
(Springer, 2017)
The observational record is too short to confidently differentiate the relative contributions of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and El Ni�o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the interannual variability of the equatorial current ...
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 ...
Do regions outside the tropical Pacific influence ENSO through atmospheric teleconnections?
(Springer, 2015)
This paper aims at identifying oceanic regions outside the tropical Pacific, which may influence the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) through interannual modulation of equatorial Pacific winds An Atmospheric General ...
A modeling study of processes controlling the Bay of Bengal sea surface salinity interannual variability
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2016)
Recent observational studies provided preliminary insights on the interannual variability of Bay of Bengal (BoB) Sea Surface Salinity (SSS), but are limited by the poor data coverage. Here, we describe the BoB interannual ...
