Abstract
This study further investigates the 18-month and 3-year variability modes in
the Indian Ocean and their possible use for the prediction of the Indian Ocean
dipole (IOD). We argue that the IOD is not an isolated event triggered by a
particular ocean–atmosphere state but a continuous oscillatory process, so that
the extremely shallow thermocline in the eastern Indian Ocean during IOD
events can be largely described (given our current observational time series of
20 years) as the constructive interference of the 3-year and 18-month signals.
We propose to use this interpretation as a prediction tool of IOD events.
