Abstract

The Northern Indian Ocean is unique in the global ocean because of seasonal reversal of winds as well as surface ocean currents.In the southern part of the Indian Ocean, a significant ocean-atmospheric phenomenon developed just like an El Nino phenomenon noticed in the Pacific Ocean.This phenomenon is known as the Indian Ocean Dipole.In this study we investigate the relationship between IOD and El Nino with sea surface temperature in identifying surface ocean convective cells those strengthens the monsoon.
