About the role of westerly wind events in the possible development of an El Nino in 2014
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Similarities between early 1997 and 2014 has prompted climate scientists to wonder if an El Niño matching the 1997 “El Niño of the century” could develop in 2014. Until April 2014, the equatorial Pacific exhibited positive ...
Global impact of tropical cyclones on primary production
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2016)
In this paper, we explore the global responses of surface temperature, chlorophyll, and primary production to tropical cyclones (TCs). Those ocean responses are first characterized from the statistical analysis of satellite ...
Further Insights on the Influence of the Indian Ocean Dipole on the Following Year's ENSO from Observations and CMIP5 Models
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)
Recent observational studies have suggested that negative and positive Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) events (nIOD
and pIOD, respectively) favor a transition toward, respectively, El Niño and La Niña events one year later. ...
Contribution of tropical cyclones to the air-sea CO2 flux: A global view
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)
Previous case studies have illustrated the strong local influence of tropical cyclones (TCs) on CO sub(2) air-sea flux (F sub(CO2)), suggesting that they can significantly contribute to the global F sub(CO2). In this study, ...
Physical control of interannual variations of the winter chlorophyll bloom in the northern Arabian Sea
(Copernicus Publications for EGU, 2017)
The northern Arabian Sea hosts a winter chlorophyll bloom, triggered by convective overturning in response to cold and dry northeasterly monsoon winds. Previous studies of interannual variations of this bloom only relied ...
Processes of interannual mixed layer temperature variability in the thermocline ridge of the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2014)
Sea-surface temperature interannual anomalies (SSTAs) in the thermocline ridge of the southwestern tropical Indian Ocean (TRIO) have several well-documented climate impacts. In this paper, we explore the physical processes ...
Influence of ENSO on the Pacific decadal oscillation in CMIP models
(Springer, 2017)
Emerging decadal climate predictions call for an assessment of decadal climate variability in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) database. In this paper, we evaluate the influence of El Ni�o Southern Oscillation ...
Processes of 30–90 days sea surface temperature variability in the northern Indian Ocean during boreal summer
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)
During summer, the northern Indian Ocean exhibits significant atmospheric intraseasonal variability associated with active and break phases of the monsoon in the 30–90 days band. In this paper, we investigate mechanisms ...
Processes of India's offshore summer intraseasonal sea surface temperature variability
(Springer, 2013)
Active and break phases of the Indian summer monsoon are associated with sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations at 30-90 days timescale in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Mechanisms responsible for basin-scale ...
Observation-Based Estimates of Surface Cooling Inhibition by Heavy Rainfall under Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)
Tropical cyclones drive intense ocean vertical mixing that explains most of the surface cooling observed in their wake (the "cold wake"). The influence of cyclonic rainfall on the cold wake at a global scale over the 2002-09 ...
