Abstract By employing the conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation approach within a two‐layer quasigeostrophic (QG) model, we investigate the sensitive areas for targeted observations of mesoscale eddies relevant to sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) forecasting and reveal their pronounced latitude dependence.

Importance of Ocean Dynamics for the Skewness of the Indian Ocean Dipole Mode
AbstractInterannual 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 and the importance of ocean dynamics are investigated.

Internal Tide Displacements Enhance Surface‐Interior Heat Exchange in the Indonesian Seas
Abstract Sea surface temperature (SST) in the Indonesian Seas drives atmospheric deep convection, influencing regional and global climate. Yet, the processes controlling SST in this region remain poorly understood. Using a high‐resolution regional model that explicitly resolves internal tides, we show that tidal displacements lift cold thermocline ...

Antarctic sea ice variability has long been characterized by a dipole pattern primarily located in West Antarctica, attributed to the Amundsen Sea Low and remote forcing from the tropical Pacific, while variability in other sectors has received less ...

Subseasonal Tropical Convection Characteristics in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model Version 2
Abstract Accurate simulation of subseasonal tropical moist convection remains a key challenge for Earth system models. The difficulties stem from the reliance of cumulus cloud processes on model parameterizations and the need to represent the multiscale nature of interactions among clouds, radiation, moisture, circulation, and surface energy fluxes ...

Implications of East Pacific La Niña Events for Southern African Climate
Longitudinal shifts in the zonal dipole associated with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific have implications for the summer climate of Southern Africa.

Abstract The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) can influence the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) development 1 year ahead, allowing for prediction of ENSO events up to 14 months in advance. Using observational data sets and numerical experiments, we demonstrate that this IOD‐ENSO connection varies considerably on multidecadal timescales, which are largely ...

The phytoplankton size structure exerts a significant influence on ecological processes and biogeochemical cycles. In this study, the interannual variations in remotely sensed phytoplankton size structure in the southern Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) and the underlying physical mechanisms were investigated.
