Spacebased observations of the seasonal changes of south Asian monsoons and oceanic responses
Abstract
The seasonal changes of monsoons in the South China Sea and the Arabian Sea are compared, using observations by spaceborne microwave scatterometers and radiometers. The oceanic responses to the forcing of wind stress and latent heat flux resulting from the monsoon changes are identified through surface temperature tendency and sea level changes.
