Fig. 6: Sensitivity of Arabian Sea High Salinity Water (ASHSW) formation to precipitation: model experiments.
From: Sustained freshening of Arabian Sea High Salinity Water induced by extreme precipitation events
Seasonal mean salinity in the upper 50 m from the perturbation model experiment PPE2018-19 for a winter 2018–2019 (December–February) and b summer 2019 (August–October), and from the PPE2019-20 experiment for c winter 2019–2020 and d summer 2020. e Time-series of volume-integrated salinity (≥36.6 psu) representing ASHSW production for the period 2018–2023 from the PPE2018-19 (green dashed line), PPE2019-20 (red dashed line), and CNTL (black dashed line) experiments. The contour interval for salinity is 0.2 psu. Cyclone occurrences are marked in (e): circles indicate very severe to super cyclones, and diamonds indicate cyclones to severe cyclones. Cyclones penetrating north of 15°N are marked in red.
