Abstract
Subsurface Layer Temperature Inversion (SLTI) is a prominent physical process occurring in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during winter. BoB also witnesses intense cyclones during winter (post-monsoon). Sidr is a category-5 cyclone that occurred in the BoB during 11–15 November 2007. The present study emphasises bringing out the effect of SLTI on SST warming. This paper uses observations and modelling to present SLTI's role in surface layer post-cyclone warming. In the absence of SLTI, the cyclone induces surface cooling. However, in the case of a surface layer with SLTI, instead of cooling, sea surface warming of < 0.5 °C is observed near the head bay, where SLTI is prominent. Model results and observations suggest the role of entrainment and warming of the surface layer.
期刊介绍：
Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans is an international journal for research related to the dynamical and physical processes governing atmospheres, oceans and climate.
Authors are invited to submit articles, short contributions or scholarly reviews in the following areas:
•Dynamic meteorology
•Physical oceanography
•Geophysical fluid dynamics
•Climate variability and climate change
•Atmosphere-ocean-biosphere-cryosphere interactions
•Prediction and predictability
•Scale interactions
Papers of theoretical, computational, experimental and observational investigations are invited, particularly those that explore the fundamental nature - or bring together the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary aspects - of dynamical and physical processes at all scales. Papers that explore air-sea interactions and the coupling between atmospheres, oceans, and other components of the climate system are particularly welcome.
