Abstract: he semiannual cycle in zonal wind over the equatorial Indian Ocean is investigated by use of ocean?atmospheric reanalyses, and linear ocean?atmospheric models. In observations, the semiannual cycle in zonal wind is dominant ...

Abstract: possible formation mechanism of mean subsurface upwelling along the equator in the Indian Ocean is investigated using a series of hierarchical ocean general circulation model (OGCM) integrations and analytical considerations. ...

Abstract: he amplitude of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) displays pronounced interdecadal modulations in observations. The mechanisms for the amplitude modulation are investigated using a 2000-yr preindustrial control integration ...

Abstract: nterannual anomalies of sea surface temperature (SST), wind, and cloudiness in the southeastern tropical Indian Ocean (SE-TIO) show negative skewness. In this research, asymmetry between warm and cold episodes in the SE-TIO ...

Abstract: egional patterns of tropical Indo-Pacific climate change are investigated over the last six decades based on a synthesis of in situ observations and ocean model simulations, with a focus on physical consistency among sea ...
