Response of subsurface waters in the eastern Arabian Sea to tropical cyclones

Response of Upper Ocean during passage of MALA cyclone utilizing ARGO data

“…2a. Similar findings are reported in the work of Rao et al (2010) using both observations and numerical models for the Arabian Sea. It was seen that initially the depression moved in northwest direction and was located at 8.6 • N; 89.7 • E on 24 April (12 UTC).…”

Numerical simulation on Bay of Bengal's response to cyclones using the Princeton ocean model

“…Though warming could be observed on either side of the storm away from the storm's core region along this transect, more subsurface warming was reflected to the left than to the right side. RAO et al (2010) in their simulation studies of the Arabian Sea (North Indian Ocean) also suggest the subsurface warming and surface cooling during the passage of a cyclone and confirmed their findings through observed data. The features of these vertical thermal structures clearly depict the upper ocean's response to the cyclone.…”

“…Hence, tropical cyclone model generated 6-hourly synthetic vortices (26-29 October 1999) were superimposed QSCAT/NCEP blended that the POM could well reproduce oceanic features. POM has been applied in the BoB (MAHAPATRA et al, 2007) and the Arabian Sea (RAO et al, 2010) in the India Ocean to simulate the ocean's response to cyclones. CHU et al (2000CHU et al ( , 2001 have applied the POM in the South China Sea (SCS) and captured its oceanic characteristics well.…”

Tropical cyclone footprint in the ocean mixed layer observed by Argo in the Northwest Pacific

“…It is noted that the strong IL deepening is also found at about 150 km of the left side. This may be caused by the passage of TCs over the ocean leaving behind the strong inertial oscillations and thus leading to the formation of convergence and divergence zones [Ginis, 2002;Rao et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2014]. The maximum IL cooling of about 0.6 C induced by the strong…”
