摘要: AbstractAnalyses using a suite of observational datasets (Aquarius and Argo) model simulations are carried out to examine the seasonal variability salinity in northern Indian Ocean (NIO). The include Estimating Circulation Climate Ocean, Phase II (ECCO2), European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts–Ocean Reanalysis System 4 (ECMWF–ORAS4), Simple Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis, Hybrid Coordinate Model (HYCOM). analyses at surface depths up 200 m, salt transport top 5-m layer, depth-integrated transports revealed different processes NIO that dominantly related semiannual monsoons. Aquarius proves useful tool observing this dynamic region reveals some aspects sea (SSS) Argo cannot resolve. study large disagreement between derived from observed- analysis-derived sa...
