What is Indian Ocean dynamic sea level, its variability and projections in CMIP6 models about?
The regional sea level variability and its projection amidst the global sea level rise is one of the major concerns for coastal communities. The dynamic sea level plays a major role in the observed spatial deviations in regional sea level rise from the global mean. The present study evaluates 27 climate model simulations from the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) for their representation of the historical mean states, variability and future projections for the Indian Ocean. Most models reproduce the observed mean state of the dynamic sea level realistically; however, consistent positive bias is evident across the latitudinal range of the Indian Ocean. The strongest sea level bias is seen along the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) regime owing to the stronger than observed south Indian Ocean westerlies and its equatorward bias. This equatorward shift of the wind field also results in a stronger positive windstress curl across the southeasterly trade wind regime in the southern tropical basin and an easterly wind bias along the equatorial waveguide. Owing to the anomalous easterly equatorial winds, the thermocline in the eastern tropical basin is sha
