Sea surface temperature in the Arabian Sea Mini Warm Pool has been suggested to be one of the factors that affects the Indian summer monsoon. In this paper, we analyze the annual ocean heat content (OHC) of this region during 1993–2010, using in situ data, satellite observations, and a model simulation. We find that OHC increases significantly in the region during this period relative to the north Indian Ocean, and propose that this increase could have caused the decrease in Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall that occurred at the same time.

Deciphering isotopic signals of monsoon-induced upwelling in foraminifera from the Western Arabian sea sediment trap
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1997-03)Isotopic analyses have been made on four species of foraminifera collected with a PARFLUX Mark VI sediment trap in the Arabian Sea during the 1986 and 1987 monsoons. Two of the species are non-spinose thermocline dwellers ... -
