Bay Of Bengal Upper Ocean and Monsoon Trough Region Interaction- Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Oceanography Abstract The confined to the study of northern Bay of Bengal (BoB) waters where the question of the presence and the maintenance of excess and deficit monsoon and its association with oceanic parameters to that Monsoon Trough Zone (MTZ) over India is being examined. The observed rain from IMD-NCMRWF is used to find out the correlation for deficit and excess years of rainfall over MTZ with BoB SST, SSS, MLD and OHC obtained from ECMWF ocean reanalysis. The study explains that the relation of the BoB oceanic parameters with the rainfall activity in the MTZ region has good correlation for the year 2007 than that of year 2002.
