Climate change alters ocean conditions, notably temperature and sea level. In the Bay of Bengal, these changes influence monsoon precipitation and marine productivity, critical to the Indian economy. In Phase 6 of the Coupled Model…
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a high recipient of freshwater flux from rivers and precipitation, making the region strongly stratified. The strong stratification results in a thick barrier layer formation, which inhibits vertical mixing making…
The interaction among quasi-geostrophic mesoscale eddies, submesoscale fronts, and boundary layer turbulence (BLT) is a central problem in upper ocean dynamics. We investigate these multiscale dynamics using a novel large-eddy simulation on…
The present study explores the capabilities of advanced machine learning algorithms in predicting the sea-surface $p$CO$_2$ in the open oceans of the Bay of Bengal (BoB). We collect the available observations (outside EEZ) from the cruise…
Submesoscale currents in the oceanic mixed layer, comprising fronts, eddies, and filaments, are characterized by $\textit{O}(1)$ Rossby numbers (Ro). These features, which constantly interact with background mesoscale flows and boundary…
Freshwater export from the Bay of Bengal (BoB) can drive the regional air-sea interaction in the Arabian Sea (AS). We use AVISO geostrophic and Globcurrent velocities to characterize horizontal stirring on a seasonal and interannual time…
The oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is unique owing to its curious capability to maintain steady dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. In this study, we identify a process by which the oxygen levels in BoB are sustained above…
$ $From June--September, the summer monsoon current (SMC) flows eastward south of Sri Lanka and bends northeastward to form a swift jet that enters the Bay of Bengal (BoB). As such, it is a crucial part of the water exchange between the…
Fluid turbulence is characterized by strong coupling across a broad range of scales. Furthermore, besides the usual local cascades, such coupling may extend to interactions that are non-local in scale-space. As such the computational…
Mixing in the Bay of Bengal, driven by altimetry derived daily geostrophic surface currents, is studied on subseasonal timescales. Hovm{\"o}ller and wavenumber-frequency diagrams with power spectra confirm the multiscale nature of the flow.…
Numerical prediction of the interactions between wind and ocean waves is essential for climate modeling and a wide range of offshore operations. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the marine atmospheric boundary layer is a practical numerical…
The Global Overturning Circulation (GOC) is a key component of the climate system, transporting heat, carbon, and salt throughout the global ocean. Previous reduced-dimensional models have sought to represent this three-dimensional…
