New insights on cyclone wake recovery can help to advance predictive models for extreme weather events A study led by UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science & Technology (SMAST) Ph.D. student Siddhant Kerhalkar sheds new light on the recovery of ocean thermal structures following cyclone passage—an area of oceanography that has remained largely unexplored due to the scarcity of direct shipboard observations.

New findings on cyclone wake recovery in the Arabian Sea enhance understanding of ocean thermal structure restoration, aiding the improvement of climate models and extreme weather predictions. doi.org/g86mnb

Excited to share my first lead-author paper in @agu.org GRL! We show how monsoon winds & submesoscale fronts interact to accelerate Cyclone Biparjoy’s wake recovery in the Arabian Sea—key for improving monsoon forecasts.

I was lucky to have done this course. It was one of the best courses I have ever taken (and Jonathan is a wonderful instructor), and I have been using the tools covered since then for my PhD research. Thank you Jonathan :)
