Role of mesoscale eddies on atmospheric convection during summer monsoon season over the Bay of Bengal: A case study

Our study aims to understand the variability of oceanic mesoscale eddies during contrasting (2009 and 2013) monsoon seasons and the role of such eddies on atmospheric deep convection over the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Oceanic eddies are detected and tracked using sea surface height anomalies (SSHA), by employing the Okubo-Weiss parameter eddy detection method. Significant differences in the SSHA and eddy activity are evident during the contrasting...
