Predictability and Diagnostic signals of active and break cycles in Monsoon in the northern Indian Ocean Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea

Abstract

Sharply focused project to collaborate with colleges at the Indian National Institute of Oceanograph(NIO) on analysis of the relatio"nship between the structure of the Interropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the SST gradient in the Bay of Bengal and eastern equatoria""l Indian Ocean. We bring together combined experience and expertise in Monsoon studies, data analysis and assimilation, Ocean-Atmosp""here interaction and dynamics,and observational technology to focus primarily on the analysis of ITCZ dynamics in the Tropical India""n Ocean as they relate to the Indian Monsoon, Double ITCA (DITCZ) formation, SST and interactions with transients and breaks in the" Monsoon
