The formation of Findlater Jet (FJ) in the lower atmosphere over the Arabian Sea (AS) is an integral part of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM, June–September). Based on observations, our earlier study indicated that the FJ-induced heat signal during the ISM is potentially preserved in the upper ocean in the form of heat content in the southern AS until the following winter season. Through various sensitivity experiments with an...

Introduction This study investigates the biogeochemical impact of Godavari River discharge (GRD) on the Bay of Bengal (BoB), focusing on the formation of an intense and shallow oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) near the river mouth during the fall season. Unlike the BoB’s typical intermediate-depth OMZ, this subsurface (~40-200 m) phenomenon is attributed to the interplay of GRD-driven nutrient enrichment, coastal upwelling, enhanced...
