Evaluation of Thermocline Depth Bias in the Seychelles-Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR) simulated by the CMIP6 models - Saat Mubarrok

Background 3.2 Thermocline dome displacement • An open ocean upwelling region in the Indian Ocean, known as 3.1 Thermocline depth and SST bias the Seychelles-Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR), mainly driven by the curl of local wind stress between the southeast trade Figure 4. [...] The vertical dash lines • Since the dynamic in the SCTR play an important role in global show the longitude of SCTR. [...] climate variability especially in the Indian Ocean, the ability of climate model, especially the Coupled Models Intercomparison Project phase sixth (CMIP6) that released recently, to simulate the SCTR is important, whether the CMIP6 models show an improvement or not, compare to the previous CMIP5 generation. [...] dot show the thermocline dome, the shallowest D20 in the band of 5oS to 12oS latitude. [...] Acknowledgment: Take home message: • The CMIP6 models are slightly better in simulating the SCTR dome and thermocline depth, compared to CMIP5 models, This research was a part of the project A good understanding of future SCTR although the bias still noticeable.
