Variability of SST and ILD in the Arabian Sea and Sea of Oman in Association with the Monsoon Cycle

Sea surface temperature (SST) and isothermal layer depth (ILD) are important oceanic parameters could play a significant role in understanding the upper thermal structure as well improve predictive capability of monsoons tropical oceans. In disparate departure from past research, present study investigates seasonal variability SST ILD association with monsoon cycle Arabian Oman regions by examination Argo datasets for 2016-17. this study, climatology is determined profiles provided floats based on threshold technique T z ? SST ? 1 ° C to investigate region stronger weaker wind forcing. For SST, values used nearest sea (depth id="M2"> ? 5 m). The split into four distinct zones an accurate description cycle: south Sea, central north Oman. It observed that summer more pronounced south-central basin where deepening (>100 m September 2016) mainly due forcing region. On contrary, displayed smaller amplitude (<10 June larger meaning weakly influenced monsoon. relationship established between 2016-17 shows be useful indicator predicting regions. Our analysis results indicate dynamics different these either large-scale atmospheric forcing, such El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), or effects mesoscale variations occurring along Oman-Arabian coast.
