AbstractOcean state forecast (OSF) along ship routes (OAS) is an advisory service of the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) of the Earth System Science Organization (ESSO) that helps mariners to ensure safe navigation in the Indian Ocean in all seasons as well as in extreme conditions. As there are many users who solely depend on this service for their decision making, it is very important to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the service using the available in situ and satellite observations. This study evaluates the significant wave height (Hs) along the ship track in the Indian Ocean using the ship-mounted wave height meter (SWHM) on board the Oceanographic Research Vessel Sagar Nidhi, and the Cryosat-2 and Jason altimeters. Reliability of the SWHM is confirmed by comparing with collocated buoy and altimeter observations. The comparison along the ship routes using the SWHM shows very good agreement (correlation coefficient > 0.80) in all three oceanic regimes, [the tropical northern Indian Ocean (TNIO), the tropical southern Indian Ocean (TSIO), and extratropical southern Indian Ocean (ETSI)] with respect to the forecasts with a lead time of 48 h. However, the analysis shows ~10% overestimation of forecasted significant wave height in the low wave heights, especially in the TNIO. The forecast is found very reliable and accurate for the three regions during June–September with a higher correlation coefficient (average = 0.88) and a lower scatter index (average = 15%). During other months, overestimation (bias) of lower Hs is visible in the TNIO.

Previous studies investigated the Indian Ocean's currents' impacts on the trajectory movement of MH370 debris. This chapter introduces the novel approach of investigating the wave pattern variations in the Indian Ocean on the MH370 debris. The novel approach based on the altimeter interferometry technique is utilized in this chapter. To this end, dual SIRAL instruments on-board of CryoSat-2 are applied to obtain the annual cycle of significant wave height across the Indian Ocean. In this chapter, in a one-year significant wave height cycle, the swell remains propagating from the Southwest to the Northeast from January to March 2015 with a maximum significant wave height of 5 m in the Northeast Offshore Australian Shelf and 7 m significant wave height Southwest of Australian Shelf. In this circumstance, the Pareto algorithm proves that the flaperon would submerge to a water depth less than 300 m on account of the impact of wave power of 22000 KJ/m/wave. It can be said that the flaperon would be submerged further to a water depth of 1000 m because of the wave power of 30000 KJ/m/wave.

The Asymmetry

This chapter examines Indian and Chinese perspectives of each other as major powers and their respective roles in the Indian Ocean. It focuses on the following elements: (a) China’s strategic imperatives in the Indian Ocean Region, (b) India’s views on its special role in the Indian Ocean and the legitimacy of the presence of other powers, (c) China’s strategic vulnerabilities in the Indian Ocean and India’s wish to leverage those vulnerabilities, (d) the asymmetry in Indian and Chinese threat perceptions, and (d) Chinese perspectives of the status of India in the international system and India’s claims to a special role in the Indian Ocean. The chapter concludes that even if China were to take a more transparent approach to its activities, significant differences in perceptions of threat and over status and legitimacy will produce a highly competitive dynamic between them in the maritime domain.
