Deskripsi

The intraseasonal barotropic response of the ocean has been assumed to be negligible in tropical regions. We show that boreal winter MJOs, aided by ocean stratification, trigger a significant basin-wide barotropic sea level response in the tropical Indian Ocean at intraseasonal time scales.
