| Abstract | A framework involving long baroclinic waves, which treats the north Indian Oceanas a single dynamical entity, has been remarkably successful in simulating thelow-frequency, large-scale circulation in the ocean. It is, however, unableto simulate the observed seasonal cycle of sea level along the Indian coast.The reason appears to be the absence of salinity variation in the models. The large inflow of freshwater into the seas around India forces large changes in salinity, and hence, in coastal sea level.Department of Ocean Development |
