Indian Ocean Dipole and southern high latitude precipitation: possible links
2014
Nuncio, M. | Satheesan, K.
Southern high latitude precipitation during austral spring in relation to the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and ENSO is investigated in the present study. Both the IOD and ENSO generate Rossby waves trains that create positive and negative pressure anomalies. These anomalous pressure centres generate meridional moisture fluxes that impact the precipitation. Influence of the IOD is detected mainly in the Ross sea region, where the southward moisture transport induced by the low pressure cell enhances precipitation. During strong IOD years, east Antarctica near 100°E, is also characterised by enhanced precipitation induced by the southward moisture transport by a high pressure cell located south of Australia. In the Dronning Maud Land, precipitation is linked to the moisture advection through the Atlantic during ENSO years and not during the IOD years.
