Fig. 8: Analysis of salinity-budget terms.
From: Sustained freshening of Arabian Sea High Salinity Water induced by extreme precipitation events
Volume averaged monthly mean salinity budget terms (10−3 psu d−1) in the northern Arabian Sea (60°–70°E, 15°–25°N, 0–100 m) from the a control (CNTL), and b PPE2019-23 perturbation experiment and c differences between CNTL and PPE2019-23 (ΔS). The salinity budget terms include tendency term (\(\Delta {S}_{{totl}}\), black) due to surface freshwater flux (\(\Delta {S}_{{sflx}}\), red), horizontal advection (\(\Delta {S}_{{hadv}}\), orange), vertical advection (\(\Delta {S}_{{vadv}}\), green), and vertical mixing (\(\Delta {S}_{{vmix}}\), blue). Cyclone occurrences are marked in panels a and c: circles indicate very severe to super cyclones, and diamonds indicate cyclones to severe cyclones. Cyclones penetrating north of 15°N are marked in red.
