The researchers compared the GNSS - R satellite measurements with data from other sources, including tropical cyclone best track data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information; two climate reanalysis products; and a spaceborne scatterometer, a tool that uses microwave radar to measure
winds near the surface of the ocean.

The
wind keeps a layer
of warm water
near the
surface in Indonesia, reducing the temperature difference across the Indian
Ocean and so minimising the strength
of positive IOD events.
This is to be expected because the spin - up
of the
wind - driven
ocean circulation speeds up the currents (Ekman transport) which carry heat out
of the tropics in the
near -
surface layers toward the subtropical
ocean gyres.
During a stop
near Sydney, Australia, mainly framed around urging young people to join the Church, Pope Benedict XVI on Friday also spent time describing nature's wonders and
wounds — «scars which mark the
surface of our earth, erosion, deforestation, the squandering
of the world's mineral and
ocean resources in order to fuel an insatiable consumption.»
