Recent Warming Trends in the Arabian Sea: Causative Factors and Physical Mechanisms

Jiya Albert et al.

Summary: In recent years, the North Indian Ocean (NIO) has been acting as a major sink of ocean heat, particularly in the sub-surface warming trend. The Arabian Sea (AS) sector of the NIO has witnessed dramatic variations in sub-surface warming, affecting intense Tropical Cyclone (TC) activity. This study investigates the causative factors and physical mechanisms behind the multi-decadal warming trends in surface and sub-surface waters over the AS region.

Impact of the winter Arctic sea ice anomaly on the following summer tropical cyclone genesis frequency over the western North Pacific

Shangfeng Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between winter Arctic sea ice concentration (ASIC) anomaly and the subsequent summer tropical cyclone genesis frequency (TCGF) in the western North Pacific (WNP). The results reveal that there is a significant time-lagged association between ASIC anomalies over Greenland-Barents-Kara (GBK) seas and TCGF over the southeastern part of the WNP. The underlying physical mechanisms involve large-scale circulation anomalies and air-sea interaction processes induced by the ASIC anomalies.

Decadal Variability of Winter Warm Arctic-Cold Eurasia Dipole Patterns Modulated by Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

Binhe Luo et al.

Summary: This paper explores the physical cause of the decadal variability of the warm Arctic-cold Eurasia (WACE) pattern observed in recent decades. The study finds that the phases of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) mediate the decadal variability of the WACE pattern. The study also highlights the influence of PDO and AMO on the meridional structure of the WACE pattern, leading to different spatial distributions of warm and cold anomalies.

On occurrence of rapid intensification and rainfall changes in tropical cyclones over the North Indian Ocean

Buri Vinodhkumar et al.

Summary: This study examines the climatological characteristics and potential triggers of rapid intensification (RI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) from 1990 to 2019. It found a significant increase in the number of RI-TCs since 2000, with most occurring in the post-monsoon season and lasting 12-24 hours. The study suggests that higher precipitable water, surface flux, cyclone heat potential in moderate shear environments favor the RI process.

A review of ocean-atmosphere interactions during tropical cyclones in the north Indian Ocean

Vineet Kumar Singh et al.

Summary: The north Indian Ocean accounts for 6% of global tropical cyclones annually. Some of the most devastating cyclones have formed in this basin, causing extensive damage. There is a two-way ocean-atmosphere interaction during cyclones, with high sea surface temperatures providing favorable conditions for cyclone formation while cyclones induce cold and salty wakes. The response of the ocean to cyclones varies in different seasons and regions of the north Indian Ocean. The increased cyclone intensification is influenced by rapid warming in the north Indian Ocean associated with global warming.

West coast India's rainfall is becoming more convective

A. Sreenath et al.

Summary: The disastrous cloudburst and floods in Kerala have raised concerns about the changing rainfall patterns along the west coast of India. Analysis of reanalysis data, satellite observations, and balloon soundings data suggest that there is a trend towards more convective and deeper clouds in recent decades.

Investigation of Waves Generated by Tropical Cyclone Kyarr in the Arabian Sea: An Application of ERA5 Reanalysis Wind Data

Aliasghar Golshani et al.

Summary: This study simulated the wave conditions induced by tropical cyclone Kyarr in the Arabian Sea using the MIKE 21 SW model and validated the results with buoy and satellite altimeter data. The model accurately predicted the significant wave height, peak wave period, and mean wave direction. The study highlights the potential coastal erosion and flooding caused by these waves and emphasizes the importance of timely actions to mitigate the impacts on critical facilities and infrastructure. The validated model can be used to assess the risk to life and infrastructure in the area.

Key Factors Modulating the Threat of the Arabian Sea's Tropical Cyclones to the Gulf Countries

Diana Francis et al.

Summary: Tropical cyclones are a significant natural hazard that can cause loss of life and property damage. Understanding the factors that influence their trajectory is important for predicting their behavior. This study investigates the mechanisms behind the exceptional trajectories of two tropical cyclones that made landfall on the Arabian Peninsula. The findings suggest that large-scale forcings and regional-scale processes, such as sea surface temperatures and the Arabian Heat Low, play a role in determining the cyclones' paths.

Role of subtropical Rossby waves in governing the track of cyclones in the Bay of Bengal

Vineet Kumar Singh et al.

Summary: The research shows that cyclones in the Bay of Bengal during November follow two distinct tracks, influenced by different steering winds. Cyclones moving north-northeastward are associated with an anomalous upper-level cyclonic circulation over India triggered by a subtropical Rossby wave train, while those moving west-northwestward lack this influence.

The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979

Mika Rantanen et al.

Summary: Analyses of observations and climate simulations suggest that Arctic Amplification has been stronger than expected and underestimated in climate models. The warming in the Arctic has been nearly four times faster than the global average over the past 43 years, which is a higher ratio than previously reported. This finding indicates the urgency and severity of Arctic warming.

Increased cyclone destruction potential in the Southern Indian Ocean

P. J. Vidya et al.

Summary: The study shows that the warming of the Southern Indian Ocean has doubled the Power Dissipation Index (PDI) in the region from 1999-2016 compared to 1980-1998, primarily due to an increase in cyclone intensity and duration. This increase in PDI is associated with rising sea surface temperatures and upper ocean heat content, as well as a significant slowdown in cyclone translation speeds, with ocean processes playing a major role in the recent period.

Subseasonal relationship between Arctic and Eurasian surface air temperature

Hye-Jin Kim et al.

Summary: The subseasonal relationship between Arctic and Eurasian surface air temperature is re-examined, with significant negative correlation observed in the cold season but with a local minimum in late December. This relationship is influenced by both the warm Arctic-cold Eurasia pattern and the cold Arctic-warm Eurasia pattern, highlighting the importance of transient weather systems.
