Description 50-53
Satellite and in situ observations
in the equatorial Indian Ocean have shown
spectral peaks at

30-60 days and at 90 days periods.
However, spectral analysis of thermocline variability in this particular ocean
basin seems to have escaped the attention of researchers. In this study such an
analysis has been carried out using primarily the data from a buoy. Other
auxiliary data like satellite observed sea level anomaly and winds have also
been used in this study. Further supporting evidence comes from the data
generated by a numerical ocean circulation model. This model has been forced by
QuikSCAT scatterometer winds and NCEP fluxes. Spectral analysis of current, thermocline
depth and sea level anomaly from this model also supports the existence of the
mentioned periodicities.
