Abstract
AbstractThe equatorial Kelvin waves, remotely excited by basin‐scale climate modes, and subsequent coastal trapped waves significantly influence the intraseasonal variations, their low‐frequency modulations, and the frequency of extreme sea level events along the western coast of India. This study demonstrates that the frequency of extreme events are linked to the phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole mode. The temporal changes in the occurrence frequency of extremes are simulated in an eddy‐resolving ocean model consistently with observations. However, a non‐eddying model significantly underestimate the occurrence frequency of extreme sea level events, suggesting the importance of coastal trapped wave propagations regulated by the horizontal scale with the Rossby radius of deformation. This result implies that many state‐of‐the‐art climate models with a one‐degree ocean horizontal resolution may underestimate future coastal sea level variability and the frequency of extreme events under global warming and potential modulations of major internal climate modes.
