摘要

The sea surface temperature (SST) in the western Arabian Sea upwelling region is known to influence the amount of precipitation associated with the Indian summer monsoon. Thus, understanding what determines the SST in this region is an important issue. Using outputs from an ocean general circulation model with and without strong damping in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean, this study examines how the reflection of semiannual Kelvin waves at the eastern boundary of the Indian Ocean may influence the western Arabian Sea upwelling region. The downwelling Kelvin waves generated in boreal spring are reflected at the eastern boundary and reach the western equatorial Indian Ocean as reflected Rossby waves about 6 months later. The resulting westward current along the equator in the western equatorial Indian Ocean transports warmer water to the western Arabian Sea upwelling region. Thus, the SST in this region becomes colder especially in boreal fall without the reflected Rossby waves. These results are further supported by the analysis of the mixed layer temperature balance. Surprisingly, vertical processes do not contribute to the SST difference, even though the thermocline becomes shallower without the downwelling Rossby waves. This is because the mixed layer is shoaling rapidly from September to November, and there is basically no entrainment of water from below. In contrast, the reflected Rossby waves do not have large impacts on the SST in other seasons mainly because the zonal SST gradient is not as strong and/or the amplitude of Rossby waves is weaker.
