Abstract: Abstract Monsoon forcing and the unique geomorphology of the Indian Ocean basin result in complex boundary currents, which are unique in many respects. In the northern Indian Ocean, several boundary current systems reverse seasonally. For… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2017jc013602
Abstract: Large solitary meanders are arguably the dominant mode of variability in the Agulhas Current. Observational studies have shown that these large meanders are associated with strong upwelling velocities and affect the shelf circulation for over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-20-0195.1
Abstract: Climate models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 5 (CMIP5) vary significantly in their ability to simulate the phase and amplitude of atmospheric stationary waves in the midlatitude Southern Hemisphere. These models also suffer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-16-0079.1
Abstract: AbstractStrong upwelling events inshore of the Agulhas Current close to 33.5°S are investigated. These events are important to the exchange of shelf and slope waters, potentially enhancing primary productivity and advecting larvae offshore. Using hydrographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281766
Abstract: As observed by remote sensing images in December 2013 and January 2014, chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) bloom occurred on the south side of the Agulhas Current (38°S-45°S). The dynamic mechanisms of Chl-a bloom were studied by satellite… read more here.
