Spectral analysis shows that semiannual variation is the strongest variation in equatorial Indian Ocean. Further analysis exhibits that this variation is associated with Wyrtki Jet phenomenon and forced by wind along the equator. Upward phase propagation (downward energy propagation) is clearly shown as indication of the propagation of equatorial Kelvin wave. Cross correlation of two mooring data captures westward propagation of reflected Rossby wave that interferes the propagation of Kelvin wave. During IOD positive event, stronger reflected Rossby wave occurs and causes weakening of upward phase propagation. This result reveals that interferences of equatorial wave have important role on forming vertical structure of currents along equatorial Indian Ocean.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cross correlations,Energy propagation,Equatorial Indian Ocean,Equatorial waves,Phase propagation,Semiannual variation,Vertical structures,Zonal currents[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/162/1/012015[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
