Evaluation of the reanalysis wind over the Indian Ocean across the seasonal reversing wind pattern
Abstract
Present study show the similarity as well as contradictory event among the four different wind data based on monthly, seasonally and annual wind pattern over Indian Ocean. All the four reanalysis wind sources exhibit almost similar trend in their annual as well as monthly average wind pattern, however there is no strong similarity at their peak condition in space and time.The statistical analysis, based on Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and correlation coefficient (R), exhibited that the ECMWF and NCMRWF wind shows comparatively good agreement with the moored buoy data than the NCEP/NCAR and NCEP/CFSR wind under the seasonal reversing wind pattern occurs across the consecutive monsoons.
