Abstract:Global climate change is one of the prevailing challenges affecting life on Earth. The global annual mean near-surface air temperature in 2023 was 1,45˚C above the 1850-1900 preindustrial average. In line with the air temperature increase, the ocean warming rate has also increased over the past two decades. Oceans play an important role in the climate system and the formation of weather conditions. The sea surface is the boundary between the ocean and the atmosphere. The sea surface temperature (SST) can be used to understand the flows of energy between two and hence the role of oceans in shaping the weather and climate, and vice versa. In this project, long-term sea surface temperatures will be analyzed over the Arabian Sea (North of the Indian Ocean) and Arabian Gulf using ERA5 data. The link between the extreme weather conditions in the UAE and the SST will also be investigated.
