Penetrative Flux Barrier Layer Collapse and ISO Feedbacks
Abstract
The summer monsoon Intra-Seasonal Oscillations (ISO) modulate rain, winds, heat fluxm and sea surface temperature in the Bay of Ben"gal in cycles that last approximately 15 to 30 days . This study proposes to advance our current observational understanding of the" upper ocean temperature, salinity,and solar irradiance inthe Bay of Bengal, and explore their influence on atmosphere processes and"" consequent feedbacks to the ocean. This study will contribute a unique, bio-optically instrumented WireWalker platform to upcoming" field campaigns inthe Bay of Begal during Summer 2018 and 2019. It will support the refurbish-ment of a custom data logger for hyperspectral radiometric radiometric instrument (owned by Amala Mahadevan) and fabrication of a spare. It will facilitate ongoing data" anaylsis and modeling by PI Omand, and allow her to continue to develop US-Indian collaborations.
