Anomalous surface currents in the tropical Indian Ocean
An anomalous climate event occurred in 1997 in the Indian Ocean with severe consequences for the surrounding continental areas. In response to an intensification of the trade winds, a westward gradient of SST and an anomalous reversal of the eastward surface currents with peak velocity anomalies exceeding 1 m/s were evident in the boreal autumn. A similar but weaker event took place in 1994. In...
متن کاملOcean Currents Modeling along the Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea and the Northern Indian Ocean
The Makran Coast (Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea on the Northern Indian Ocean) plays an important role in country’s future navigation and trade due to its accessibility. In 2014, the Iranian Makran coastline was selected by the PMO to be studied as the Phase 6 in the series of Monitoring and Modelling Studies of Iranian Coasts with all disciplines being in investigated including currents. Al...
متن کاملOn surface drift currents in the ocean
A new model of surface drift currents is constructed using the full nonlinear equations of motion. This model includes the balance between Coriolis forces due to the mean and wave-induced motions and the surface wind stresses. The approach used in the analysis is similar to the work by Craik & Leibovich (1976) and Leibovich (1977), but the emphasis is on the mean motion rather than the small-sc...
متن کاملThe monsoon currents in the north Indian Ocean
The north Indian Ocean is distinguished by the presence of seasonally reversing currents that flow between the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. These currents are located between the equator and approximately 10 N. The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) flows eastward during the summer monsoon (May–September) and the Winter Monsoon Current (WMC) flows westward during the winter monsoon (November–Fe...
متن کاملImpact of atmospheric submonthly oscillations on sea surface temperature of the tropical Indian Ocean
[1] Impacts of atmospheric intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) at submonthly periods (10–30 days) on Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) are studied using satellite observed outgoing long wave radiation, QuikSCAT winds, SST and an ocean general circulation model for the period of 1999–2004. The results suggest that submonthly ISOs can cause significant 10–30 day SST changes throughout the ...
