NICOP - Impact of ocean-atmosphere processes on atmospheric dynamics in Eastern Indian Ocean and Maritime Continent
Abstract
Ocean–atmosphere interaction is a key process in tropical weather and climate. The moisture flux from the ocean to atmosphere increases approximately exponentially with sea surface temperature (SST) through the Clausius–Clapeyron and bulk flux relationships . These processes are core to the evolution of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on interannual time scales. On shorter, intraseasonal time scales, ocean-atmosphere interaction has a significant role in the development and eastward propagation of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) , and also in the northward-propagating intraseasonal oscillations observed in the Indian Ocean during the boreal summer (BSISO) .
