Abstract

This paper studies the variability of latent (LE) and sensible (H) heat fluxes over the North Indian Ocean for the summer season. Results depict that the South Asia Low (SAL) plays an important role in the variability of air-sea heat fluxes over the North Indian Ocean. There is a negative correlation between SAL pressure and its latitude position. A change of the SAL from a north location to a south location induces changes in North Indian Ocean surface winds, humidity, and temperature. These, combined with sea surface warming trends, produce trends in summer latent and sensible heat fluxes.
