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 importance of the diurnal variability of sea surface temperature (SST) on air-sea
interaction is now being increasingly recognized. This review synthesizes knowledge of the …

A new 2° resolution global climatology of the mixed layer depth (MLD) based on individual
profiles is constructed. Previous global climatologies have been based on temperature or …

Five summer-monsoon proxies from the Northern Arabian Sea are combined using stacking
and principal components analysis (PCA) to create two very similar multi-proxy records of …

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 …

Although it is nominally a tropical locale, the semiannual wind reversals associated with the
Monsoon system of the Arabian Sea result annually in two distinct periods of elevated …

Application of biogeochemical models to the study of marine ecosystems is pervasive, yet
objective quantification of these models' performance is rare. Here, 12 lower trophic level …

In the Indian Ocean, mid-depth oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) occur in the Arabian Sea
and the Bay of Bengal. The lower part of the Arabian-Sea OMZ (ASOMZ; below 400m) …

In this paper, we review the state of the art and major challenges in current efforts to
incorporate biogeochemical functional groups into models that can be applied on basin …

A coupled, 3-D bio-physical ocean general circulation model has been employed to study
biogeochemical variability in the Indian Ocean. The model's ecosystem includes two size …
