IOD-induced Gill-pattern winds determine the interannual variability of southwestern monsoon current axis in the southern Bay of Bengal
The southwestern monsoon current (SMC) flowing from the Arabian Sea (AS) into the Bay of Bengal (BoB), driven by summer monsoon, can significantly affect the thermohaline structure of the BoB and further influence summer monsoon variability through air-sea interaction. The SMC exhibited significant interannual variab...
