Description: Observations have shown that the Indian Ocean is consistently warming and its warm pool is expanding, particularly in the recent decades. This paper attempts to investigate the reason behind these observations. The author's propose an ocean-atmosphere coupled positive feedback mechanism for explaining the consistent warming and expansion of the Indian Ocean warm pool (IOWP) region. [Source: Climatic Change]
