Book Description
This open access book discusses the impact of human-induced global climate change on the regional climate and monsoons of the Indian subcontinent, adjoining Indian Ocean and the Himalayas. It documents the regional climate change projections based on the climate models used in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and climate change modeling studies using the IITM Earth System Model (ESM) and CORDEX South Asia datasets. The IPCC assessment reports, published every 6–7 years, constitute important reference materials for major policy decisions on climate change, adaptation, and mitigation. While the IPCC assessment reports largely provide a global perspective on climate change, the focus on regional climate change aspects is considerably limited. The effects of climate change over the Indian subcontinent involve complex physical processes on different space and time scales, especially given that the mean climate of this region is generally shaped by the Indian monsoon and the unique high-elevation geographical features such as the Himalayas, the Western Ghats, the Tibetan Plateau and the adjoining Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal. This book also presents policy relevant information based on robust scientific analysis and assessments of the observed and projected future climate change over the Indian region.

Book Description
An important issue presented here is the existence of two different types of correlation between time rate of change of sea surface temperature (SST) partial derivative Tau/partial derivative tau and the ocean mixed-layer (OML) depth h(omega), depending on the ocean surface conditions. In the tropics, the net heat flux (including radiation budget) at the ocean surface is generally downward and dampens the OML turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). As the ocean surface is under weak wind forcing, the OML shallows to the Monin-Obukhov length scale due to insufficient wind-generated TKE to entrain the deep cool water into the OML. Net heat gain at the ocean surface and very little heat loss at the OML base leads to a warming OML. The thinner the OML, the warmer the OML. Therefore, partial derivative Tau/partial tau and h(omega) are negatively correlated; however, as the ocean surface is under strong wind forcing, the OML deepens due to sufficient wind-generated TKE to entrain the deep cool water into OML. The excessive heat loss at the OML base (entrainment heat flux) over net heat gain at the ocean surface leads to a cooling OML. The thicker the OML, the warmer the OML. Therefore, partial derivative Tau/partial derivative tau and h(omega) are positively correlated. The shift of positive-only correlation between partial derivative Tau/partial derivative tau and h(omega) (as conventionally thought to be), to two-way correlation leads to a new theory about the interannual tropical ocean-atmosphere interaction. To investigate the impact of this new idea on the interannual tropical ocean-atmosphere interaction, an Air- Ocean Surface Heat Exchange (AOSHE) Model, which is a coupled system consisting of the Wind-Induced Surface Heat Exchange (WISHE) Model (Yano and Emanuel) and the Ocean Mixed-Layer (OML) Model (Chu and Garwood) has been developed. The major advantage of the AOSHE model is simple but contains realistic thermodynamics in both ocean and atmosphere.
