Robust Projected Weakening of Winter Monsoon Winds Over the Arabian Sea Under Climate Change
(Wiley, 2017)
The response of the Indian winter monsoon to climate change has received considerably less attention than that of the summer monsoon. We show here that all Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models display ...
TropFlux: air-sea fluxes for the global tropical oceans-description and evaluation
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)
This paper evaluates several timely, daily air-sea heat flux products (NCEP, NCEP2, ERA-Interim and OAFlux/ISCCP) against observations and present the newly developed TropFlux product. This new product uses bias-corrected ...
Tropical explosive volcanic eruptions can trigger El Ni�o by cooling tropical Africa
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
Stratospheric aerosols from large tropical explosive volcanic eruptions backscatter shortwave radiation and reduce the global mean surface temperature. Observations suggest that they also favour an El Ni�o within 2 years ...
Indian Ocean Dipole and El Nino/Southern Oscillation impacts on regional chlorophyll anomalies in the Indian Ocean
(Copernicus Publications, 2013)
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are independent climate modes, which frequently co-occur, driving significant interannual changes within the Indian Ocean. We use a four-decade ...
Modulation of the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Plume by the Indian Ocean Dipole and Eddies Inferred From Satellite Observations
(Wiley, 2017)
The Bay of Bengal receives large amounts of freshwater from the Ganga?Brahmaputra (GB) river during the summer monsoon. The resulting upper?ocean freshening influences seasonal rainfall, cyclones, and biological productivity. ...
Ocean feedback to tropical cyclones: Climatology and processes
(Springer, 2014)
This study presents the first multidecadal and coupled regional simulation of cyclonic activity in the South Pacific. The long-term integration of state-of the art models provides reliable statistics, missing in usual event ...
Oceanic mesoscale turbulence drives large biogeochemical interannual variability at middle and high latitudes
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Observed phytoplankton interannual variability has been commonly related to atmospheric variables and climate indices. Here we showed that such relation is highly hampered by internal variability associated with oceanic ...
Modulation of equatorial Pacific westerly/easterly wind events by the Madden-Julian oscillation and convectively-coupled Rossby waves
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)
Synoptic wind events in the equatorial Pacific strongly influence the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) evolution. This paper characterizes the spatio-temporal distribution of Easterly (EWEs) and Westerly Wind Events ...
