Abstract:
      Temperature data at different layers of the past 45 years were studied and we found adiploe mode in the thermocline layer(DMT):anomalously cold sea temperature off the coast of Sumatra and warm sea temperature in the western Indian Ocean.First,we analyzed the temperature and the temperature anomaly(TA) along the equatorial Indian Ocean in different layers.This shows that stronger cold and warm TA signals appeared at subsurface than at the surface in the tropical Indian Ocean.This result shows that there may be a strong dipole mode pattern in the subsurface tropical Indian Ocean.Secondly we used Empirical Orthogonal Functions(EOF) to analyze the TA at thermocline layer.The first EOF pattern was a dipole mode pattern.Finally we analyzed the correlations between DMT and surface tropical dipole mode(SDM),DMT and Nino 3 SSTA,etc.and these correlations are strong.
