Abstract

A non-divergent barotropic model has been formulated on the basis of splitting up method and used to study the circulation in the north Indian Ocean (1-26° N, 4~-99° E). The circulation was simulated for summer and winter seasons separately. It IS found that the model simulated the summer and winter calculation satisfactorily. It is also found that the meridional component of wind stress IS dominant over the zonal component in shaping the Somali current. Some sensitivity studies were also carried out and the results indicate the importance of wind stress curl.
