Recent discovery of new climate modes and development of basin-scale and regional
observing systems in the Indian Ocean advance researches on physical, biogeochemical,
and ecological aspects of ocean variations. In addition, inauguration of international research
programs in the Indian Ocean, such as IIOE-2 and EIOURI, leads high expectation of related
studies in earnest both in each of the disciplines and in interdisciplinary ways. This session
invites papers on physical, biogeochemical, and ecological aspects in the Indian
Ocean and relations among these elements of the ocean variations, to facilitate integrated
understanding of the Indian Ocean variability, as well as to stimulate collaborative researches
among the relevant scientists.
