    • Arabian Sea High Salinity Core in the Bay of Bengal 

      Nayak, Anoop Ashok
      The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) advects high salinity water from the Arabian Sea into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the summer monsoon. This high salinity water subducts and enters the BoB as a subsurface high salinity ...

    • Bay of Bengal Freshwater in the tropical Indian Ocean 

      Bharathraj, G N
      The annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is more than half the runoff into the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The net freshwater (FW) content in the Bay of Bengal mixed layer increases from a minimum ...

    • Dynamics of river plumes in the Bay of Bengal 

      Pargaonkar, Shrikant Mukundrao
      The Bay of Bengal (BoB) receives a large amount of freshwater through runoff from sev- eral rivers along its border. This large freshwater gain has severe implications on the dynamics and thermodynamics of the BoB as ...

    • Effect of Rainfall and River Discharge on the North Indian Ocean 

      Behara, Ambica
      In the north Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal (BoB or bay) and the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) receive a huge amount of rainfall during summer. Several rivers along their boundaries discharge enormous amounts of freshwater ...

    • Stirring and mixing driven by mesoscale eddies in the stratified Bay of Bengal 

      Paul, Nihar
      The stirring of passive tracers driven by altimetry-derived daily surface geostrophic currents is studied on subseasonal timescales in the Bay of Bengal. Advection of latitudinal and longitudinal bands highlights the chaotic ...
