Primary production and IOD

[aboobacker]

Is there any significant trends in primary production in Indian Ocean associated with Indian Ocean Dipole???

Is there any papers relating these?????????????

Dr. P.N Vinayachandran and Simi Mathew has done some works on above topic

u can get it from the following link of IISC

The papers above and other related papers essentially refer to
this one by Murtugudde et.al. which appeared on JGR:



Murtugudde, R. G., S. R. Signorini, J. R. Christian, A. J. Busalacchi,

C. R. McClain, and J. Picaut, Ocean color variability of the tropical

Indo-Pacific basin observed by SeaWiFS during 1997– 1998, J. Geophys.

Res., 104, 18,351– 18,366, 1999.

It looks into Indo-Pacific basin and ocean color variability during 1997-1998

the period which coincides with the el-nino events during Dec 1997,

la-nina of 1998 and the Indian ocean dipole mode which appeared

by the end of 1997. Though the term 'dipole' is not mentioned anywhere

in the paper, the study indirectly mentions it as "The tropical Indian

Ocean also underwent a highly anomalous series of events with negative

SST anomalies (SSTA) of over 38C in the eastern equatorial and coastal

regions during October–December 1997 and warm SSTA in the west that

peaked at over 28C during February 1998."
