💨 Abstract

The tropical Indian Ocean is expected to experience surface warming of 1.4 degrees Celsius to 3 degrees Celsius between 2020 and 2100. This will push it into a near-permanent heatwave state, intensify cyclones, affect the monsoon, and lead to a rise in sea levels. The heat content of the Indian Ocean is currently increasing at 4.5 zetta-joules per decade.
