Abstract. Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) 2A25 reflectivity profiles data during the period 1998–2013 are used to study the differences in the vertical structure of precipitation and its variation with sea surface temperature (SST) over the Arabian Sea (AS) and the Bay of Bengal (BOB). Even though the AS and the BOB are parts of the Indian Ocean, they exhibit distinct features in vertical structure of precipitation and its variation with SST. The variation of reflectivity and precipitation echo top occurrence with SST is remarkable over the AS but trivial over the BOB. The median reflectivity increases with SST at all heights below 10 km altitude, but the increase is prominent below the freezing level height over the AS. On the other hand, irrespective of altitude, reflectivity profiles are same at all SSTs over the BOB. To understand these differences, variation of aerosols, cloud and water vapor with SST is studied over these seas. At SSTs less than 27 °C, the observed high aerosol optical depth (AOD) and low total column water vapor (TCWV) over the AS results in small Cloud effective radius (CER) values and low reflectivity. As SST increases AOD decreases and TCWV increases, which result in large CER and high reflectivity. Over the BOB the change in AOD, TCWV and CER with SST is marginal. Thus, the observed variations in reflectivity profiles seem to be present from the cloud formation stage itself over both the seas.

Tujuan riset ini adalah untuk mengkaji kondisi oseanografi musiman (sebaran suhu permukaan laut, konsentrasi klorofil-a, pola arus, dan salinitas) perairan Selat Sunda secara musiman. Kajian ini menggunakan data hasil pengukuran in situ dan data penginderaan jauh multitemporal tahun 2000, 2001, 2002, dan 2004. Analisis dilakukan secara visual dan digital untuk mendapatkan gambaran dinamik mengenai kondisi oseanografi musiman perairan Selat Sunda. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa nilai sebaran suhu permukaan laut Selat Sunda sepanjang tahun bervariasi, di mana nilai berkisar antara 27,0 sampai dengan 30,5°C, lebih tinggi dibanding dengan nilai sebaran hasil pengukuran in situ. Salinitas berkisar antara 31,0 sampai dengan 33,7‰ dengan nilai terendah (31,0‰) pada musim barat, sementara salinitas tertinggi (32,7 sampai dengan 33,7‰) ditemukan pada musim peralihan 2. Sebaran klorofil-a berkisar antara 0,1 sampai dengan 2,0 mg m-3. Musim barat merupakan musim dengan kandungan klorofil-a terendah 0,1 mg m-3 dan musim timur merupakan musim dengan tingkat kesuburan perairan tertinggi (1,5 sampai dengan 2,0 mg m-3). Diduga peningkatan produktivitas primer yang sangat tinggi pada musim timur selain akibat aliran massa air yang kaya nutrien dari Laut Jawa, juga akibat dari proses upwelling pada mulut selat bagian selatan. The aim of this research is to study the dynamic of the seasonal oceanography condition (sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, sea surface height anomaly, and salinity), of the Sunda Straits waters using in situ data and satellite multitemporal images until 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2004. The oceanographic data were analyzed using visual and digital analyze to find the dynamic features. Results show that sea surface temperature was fluctuated with seasons. The values ranging from 27.0 to 30.5°C were higher than in situ measurement. The Surface salinity varied with the value of 31.0 to 33.7‰. The Lowest salinity (31.0‰) was found of the west monsoon, the highest salinity (33.7‰) at the inter monsoon 2. The Concentration of chlorophyll-a (0.1 to 2.0 mg m-3) with the highest abundance at east monsoon. The high est concentration of chlorophyll a in east monsoon may be occurred by impact of nutrient transport from Java Sea and also by contribution of upwelling process in southern mouth of Sunda Strait.

Abstract. Sea surface height derived from the multiple ocean satellite altimeter missions (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, ERS, Envisat et al.) and sea surface temperature from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) over 1993–2008 are analyzed to investigate the coherent patterns between the interannual variability of the sea surface and subsurface in the Tropical Indian Ocean, by jointly adopting Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Extended Associate Pattern Analysis (EAPA) methods. Results show that there are two dominant coherent modes with the nearly same main period of about 3–5 yr, accounting for 86 % of the total covariance in all, but 90° phase difference between them. The primary pattern is characterized by a east-west dipole mode associated with the mature phase of ENSO, and the second presents a sandwich mode having one sign anomalies along Sumatra-Java coast and northeast of Madagascar, whilst an opposite sign between the two regions. The robust correlations of the sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) with sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in the leading modes indicate a strong interaction between them, though the highest correlation coefficient appears with a time lag. And there may be some physical significance with respect to ocean dynamics implied in SSHA variability. Analyzing results show that the features of oceanic waves with basin scale, of which the Rossby wave is prominent, are apparent in the dominant modes. It is further demonstrated from the EAPA that the equatorial eastward Kelvin wave and off-equatorial westward Rossby wave as well as their reflection in the east and west boundary, respectively, are important dynamic mechanisms in the evolution of the two leading coherent patterns. Results of the present study suggest that the upper ocean thermal variations on the timescale of interannual coherent with the ocean dynamics in spatial structure and temporal evolution are mainly attributed to the ocean waves.
