Improved depiction of Indian summer monsoon in latest high resolution NCEP climate forecast system reanalysis

The latest coupled global reanalysis of NCEP, called as Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) is best suited for the realistic representation of Indian summer monsoon. CFSR shows its superior credibility in terms of seasonal mean monsoon rainfall and its associated dynamical components (on intraseasonal and inter-annual scales) as compared to widely used atmospheric only reanalysis ....

Tropical Indian Ocean subsurface temperature variability and the forcing mechanisms

This study reports a new mode of variability in the Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) subsurface temperature which has strong impact on the thermocline-SST interaction and ocean-atmosphere coupling over the tropical Indian Ocean ....
