| Title: | Sea Surface Temperature in the Western and Central Indian Ocean |
| Authors: | Obura, D. |
| ASFA Terms: | Sea surface temperature |
| Issue Date: | 1999 |
| Abstract: | Annual peaks in sea temperature occur in the first half of each year, as the sun moves northwards after heating the sea-surface during the southern summer. Long term records in the central Indian Ocean indicate a distinct warming trend (Chagos, Maldives) of almost 1o C over the last 30 to 50 years, leading up to the highest recorded maximum during the El Niño Southern Oscillation in early 1998. |
