Climatological monthly latent heat flux (top left), sensible heat flux (top right), net longwave flux (middle left), net shortwave flux (middle right), and net heat flux (bottom left) during January in the NEAS. Superimposed on these five maps are the MLD contours (metres) for January; the MLD for January is plotted in the bottom right panel. All the fluxes are in W m−2, with positive values implying a flux out of the ocean; note that the colour scale is different for each panel. The flux climatologies were computed using data for 1979–2013. Superimposed on the flux and MLD maps are the wind stress vectors (dyne cm−2). The wind stress and fluxes are from Praveenkumar et al. (2012), and the MLD is based on Chatterjee et al. (2012). The 200- and 1000-m isobaths are marked
