In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on
climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews climate phenomena and …

In this paper, we review observations, theory and model results on the monsoon circulation
of the Indian Ocean. We begin with a general overview, discussing wind-stress forcing fields …

The monsoon currents are the seasonally reversing, open-ocean currents that flow between
the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the two wings of the north Indian Ocean. The …

A fifty-year eddy-resolving simulation of the world ocean has been performed on the Earth
Simulator for the first time. Several global aspects of the circulations and regional …

A subset of the recently published salinity database of the global oceans is utilized to
characterize and explain the observed seasonal variability of sea surface salinity of the north …

Over the past decade, our understanding of the Indian Ocean has advanced through
concerted efforts toward measuring the ocean circulation and air–sea exchanges, detecting …

The observed variability of the Kelvin waves and their propagation in the equatorial wave
guide of the Indian Ocean and in the coastal wave guides of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and …

A 4½‐layer model with active thermodynamics and mixed‐layer physics is used to isolate
effects on salinity distributions in the Indian Ocean that result from various forcing …

The evolution of the dipole mode (DM) events in the Indian Ocean is examined using an
ocean model that is driven by the NCEP fluxes for the period 1975–1998. The positive DM …

In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across
many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …
