DOI: 10.1002/2016jc012527
Abstract: Using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model version 2p1, we explored the precursory disturbances that are most likely to develop into a positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). The dominant spatial patterns of these precursors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073440
Abstract: We investigate the upper mantle seismic discontinuities at 410 and 660 km depth beneath the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). To map the discontinuities’ topography, we use differential travel times of PP and SS waves… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl075050
Abstract: The rapid Indian Ocean warming during the early-21th century was a major heat sink for the recent global surface warming slowdown. Analysis of observational data and ocean model experiments reveals that during 2003–2012 more than… read more here.
