| 英文摘要 | Cross-equator transects occupied by an underwater glider and a research vessel in the western Indian Ocean captured the evolution of equatorial circulation during onset of the boreal summer monsoon in 2018. At the end of the winter monsoon in March, surface currents were westward, while the equatorial undercurrent carried salty Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water eastward. As winds transitioned from westward to eastward during April, an eastward near-surface Wyrtki Jet developed, while the equatorial undercurrent weakened, vanishing by May. A first-mode baroclinic Kelvin wave propagated through the survey region after westward winds relaxed. However, the vertical structure of the evolving circulation was inconsistent with the first baroclinic mode, suggesting the influence of higher modes in setting observed vertical structure. The strong equatorial undercurrent at the end of the winter monsoon allowed high-salinity waters from the western equatorial Indian Ocean to reach the southern Bay of Bengal in summer 2018. ©2020.
