英文摘要	Anthropogenic factors continue to warm the oceans by storing sufficient memory of past accumulated effects resulting in higher Sea surface temperature (SST) and Ocean heat content (OHC) invigorating tropical cyclogenesis and tropical cyclone intensity. Prior studies indicate that an increase in accumulated tropical cyclone heat potential, a measure of OHC is directly related to high intense storms of longer durations. The present study is an attempt to understand the role of OHC in tropical cyclogenesis for the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Unlike the other global ocean basins, the BoB is a semi-marginal sea in the North Indian Ocean (NIO) having differential water mass characteristics attributed due to tremendous influx from riverine discharges, seasonal reversing monsoonal wind system and complex ocean circulation features. This study provides a detailed assessment on SST and OHC distributions during the pre- and post-monsoon seasons covering a period of 21 years (1991–2016) over four identified sub-domains, the potential locations for tropical cyclogenesis. The daily ERA-Interim, ORAS4, ORAS5 and 3-h RAMA buoy datasets were used in the present study. The spatial distribution and variations of SST and OHC anomalies during pre- and post-monsoon seasons in the BoB were also examined. Differential nature of inter-annual SST variability was noticed in the study region. Highest variability in SST is evidenced during both pre- and post-monsoon seasons for the northern Bay region showing a warming bias of ∼ 1.7 °C in the past 2 decades. Contrasting variability is also noticed for the eastern Bay during pre-monsoon that is almost three times higher as compared to the post-monsoon season. Maximum OHC variability is found for the southern and central-eastern Bay regions. It is seen that OHC variability has a strong tele-connection with Oceanic Niño Index associated with El Niño/La Niña events in the Pacific basin with their amplitudes found to increase from northern to southern regions of the Bay. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
