Air-Sea and Lateral Exchange Processes in East Indian Coastal Current off Sri Lanka

Abstract

The long-term goal of our research program is to understand small-scale and mesoscale oceanic dynamics around Sri Lanka and their role in the air-sea interaction processes of Bay of Bengal (BOB), in particular those related to monsoons. Oceanography around Sri Lanka is crucial for vertical and lateral mixing in BOB and exchange of water masses between the Arabian Sea and BOB. The research is conducted in the context of ASIRI initiative as well as potential future ONR initiatives in Indian Ocean.
