Overview

Analysis shows subsurface warming linked to SMOC and ITF in tropical Indian Ocean, highlighting model biases.

Key Points

  • The subsurface temperature in the tropical Indian Ocean is affected by SST gradients, leading to warming anomalies.
  • A notable shift in surface wind patterns induced by the SST gradient alters Ekman transport and SMOC behavior.
  • Increased Indonesian Throughflow weakens the subsurface cooling despite favorable upwelling conditions along the equatorial region.
  • This study emphasizes improving air-sea interactions in climate models to enhance SST simulation accuracy.
