Profiles of (a) Temperature (°C) (b) salinity (psu), and Sigma-T (kg m−3) from A-Float (black line), and model simulations from ROMS (green line; all panels). The solid and dashed lines indicates before (29 November 2017) and after (09 December 2017) the passage of TC Ockhi. All the parameters for ROMS (except A-Float), are averaged over the box 15.9°N–16.9°N and 68. 5°E–70.4°E (marked as the green box in Fig. 8b).
