The Interannual Relationship between the Diabatic Heating over the South Asia and the Snow Depth over the Southern Tibetan Plateau in Late Spring to Early Summer: Roles of the Air... by Chengyang Zhang, Zhihai Zheng, Yi Ou, Tuantuan Zhang, Zhixiang Xiao, Sheng Lai, Yuexing Cai, Sirong Chen, Weijian Qin, Hui He

“…During P1, the diabatic cooling from the southern Bay of Bengal eastward to the western South China Sea suppresses convection over the Bay of Bengal and southern TP and has resulted in an upper-level anomalous cyclone and cold temperature anomalies from the surface to 200 hPa over the southern TP, favoring the above-normal SD over the southern TP. …”

Patterns and wavelet coherence analysis of tidal dynamics and chlorophyll a concentration by M.N. Hidayat, R. Wafdan, M. Ramli, Z.A. Muchlisin, S. Rizal

“…This finding highlights the major role of tidal forces and variations in the chlorophyll a concentrations in the Bay of Bengal. The wavelet transform coherence analysis of chlorophyll a, sea level, and current magnitude data in Regions 1, 2, and 3 show notable coherence in all areas.…”

Spatial Heterogeneity in Tropospheric Column Ozone over the Indian Subcontinent: Long-Term Climatology and Possible Association with Natural and Anthropogenic Activities by Gayatry Kalita, Pradip Kumar Bhuyan

“…Monthly averaged tropospheric ozone residual (TOR) data from TOMS and OMI during the period 1979–2009 are used to study the spatial distribution of tropospheric column ozone within the landmass of the Indian subcontinent, the Tibetan plateau in the north and the Bay of Bengal in the south. The climatological mean shows seasonal maxima in spring and minima in winter in all the regions. …”

Impact of Parameterization of Physical Processes on Simulation of Track and Intensity of Tropical Cyclone Nargis (2008) with WRF-NMM Model by Sujata Pattanayak, U. C. Mohanty, Krishna K. Osuri

“…The present study is carried out to investigate the performance of different cumulus convection, planetary boundary layer, land surface processes, and microphysics parameterization schemes in the simulation of a very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS) Nargis (2008), developed in the central Bay of Bengal on 27 April 2008. For this purpose, the nonhydrostatic mesoscale model (NMM) dynamic core of weather research and forecasting (WRF) system is used. …”

Climate change impacts on shoreline migration and community livelihood resilience: evidence from coastal Bangladesh by Md. Tariqul Islam, Md. Tariqul Islam, Md. Monabbir Hossain, Nur Mohammad Ha-Mim, Md. Zakir Hossain, Sujit Kumar Sikder

“…Since 5,000 BP, it has been expanding towards the Bay of Bengal – meaning land gains at the coast. Land gain provides an opportunity for the extension of coastal communities but also increases their vulnerability to natural hazards. …”
