Climate models project that all circulation features of the South Indian Ocean, including the Leeuwin Current and Undercurrent, North and South East Madagascar Currents, transport through the Mozambique Channel and Agulhas Current are projected to weaken significantly in the last half of the 21st century with unchecked greenhouse gas emissions.

Solar heating of surface waters in the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans, along with turbulent mixing that moves this heat into the colder deep-reaching Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, play a crucial role in shaping oceanic heat transport pathways

This paper investigates the annual cycle in cloud and rainfall measurements over the western equatorial Indian Ocean. While there is a single period of strong rainfall over the region during December-January each year, there are two periods of increased high-top clouds associated with convection.

Nova pesquisa desvendou que a seca severa que ocorreu no sudeste do Brasil no verão de 2013/14 associada a calor extremo tem uma causa comum, um evento climático distante que ocorreu no Oceano Índico. O estudo liderado pela professora da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Dra. Regina R. Rodrigues com colaboração de pesquisadores do Centro de Excelência em Extremos Climáticos (CLEX) da Austrália e NOAA dos EUA, sugere que não é a primeira vez que o Oceano Índico levou a...

Un nuevo estudio científico ha demostrado que la secuencia de eventos climáticos en Sudamérica en 2013/14 que incluyó sequía y olas de calor terrestres y marinas se originó a partir de un fenómeno climático en el lado opuesto del mundo –en el Océano Índico. Los resultados del estudio que fueron publicados en Nature Geoscience por un grupo internacional de científicos de la Universidad Federal de Santa Catarina en Brasil, del ARC Centro de Excelencia de Extremos Climáticos en Australia y...
