Objective

The 5°S-10°S band in the Indian Ocean is characterized by a thermocline near the surface, linked to the mean wind structure. This near-surface thermocline makes the ocean highly reactive to atmospheric solicitations and results in marked variability on inter-seasonal (Madden-Julian oscillation) and inter-annual (Indian Ocean dipole). Moreover, these two phenomena influence the origin of cyclones in the area and affect the number of cyclones that may strike Madagascar or Reunion Island. This region has been acknowledged as being of prime interest by CLIVAR's Indian Ocean Panel. Long time series are needed to characterize variability on these time scales.
