The key factors contributing to the warming of the Indian Ocean, according to an IITM study, include:
  • Increase in greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming
  • Weakening of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) due to climate change
  • Impact of aerosols on sea surface temperatures
  • Changes in the Indian Ocean circulation patterns
  • Feedback mechanisms between the atmosphere and ocean dynamics
The IITM study found that these factors are responsible for the significant warming trends observed in the Indian Ocean over the past few decades. The research emphasizes the need for increased monitoring and mitigation efforts to address the warming of the Indian Ocean and its potential impacts on the region's climate and ecosystems.
