Modeling of Near Surface Stratification Processes in the Bay of Bengal: A proposal to the MISO-DRI
Abstract
The Monsoon Intra-seasonal Oscillation (MISO) variability and intensity has been shown to be sensitive to changes in ocean state. We" propose to conduct simulations of ocean circulation in a regional model of the Bay of Bengal, with dual focus on the process physic""s of advection, air-sea interaction and hte interaction between meso-to submeso-scale ocean instability to Ekman buoyancy flux in es"tablishing the near-surface stratification and supporting filed observations with hindcast simulations that can be used to compliment field observations.Simulation s will be conducted at two resolutions. Year long simulations will be performed in 1/32-1/48degree (3.35-2.25km) resolution. Winter/summer (NE and SW) monsoon simulations case-studies as well as hindcasts of the field program time resolution higher resolution of 1/64-1/96 (1.7km to 1.1km).
