The Arabian Sea ocean atmosphere MIxed Layers Exchange (ASMILE)
Abstract
Our contribution to primary ASTral objectives will be via process modeling, data analyses of existing and new observations conducted as part of ASTral-EKAMSAT collaboration. We will contribute by assessing how air-sea exchange is influenced by one and three-dimensional processes in the ocean theoretically, analytically, numerically and using process modeling and observed parameters, investigating the upper ocean mixing across different parametrization models, and improving air-sea coupling and fluxes in the region by collaborating with Indian flux mooring group to understand biases, and evaluating the role of cold pools. We will also organize collaborative USA-India workshops, help with overall project coordination with the India and working with Indian organizations and ministries to enable Indian port calls. We have extensive past experience in these scientific topics as well as strong track record with international collaborations in the region. The PI has played a major role in helping prepare the Indian collaborating proposal of the Enhancing Knowledge of the Arabian Sea Marine environment through Science and Advanced Training (EKAMSAT) submitted by INCOIS India to their Ministry of Earth Sciences. While the proposed work includes pre-cruise and post-cruise analyses and modeling, our group will also participate in cruises, in coordination with the ASTRaL PI team.
