Dr. Amit Tandon and Tandon Lab members Debarshi, Siddhant, and Ramana attended the EKAMSAT (Enhancing Knowledge of the Arabian Sea Marine Environment through Science and Advanced Technology) update meeting held on March 6–7, 2025. The meeting was hosted by Dr. Aneesh Subramaniam at the University of Colorado, Boulder. This two-day intensive meeting included a series of back-to-back sessions, where researchers from various collaborating universities and institutes shared updates on their work. These talks helped everyone stay on the same page and move closer to the goals of the EKAMSAT program.

Siddhant presented a 10-minute talk titled “Impacts of Salinity Stratification on SST in the Northern Indian Ocean Warm Pool” and Debarshi presented two 10-minute talks on air-sea heat flux biases in reanalysis products and the submesoscale variabilities in air-sea flux parameters during the time of monsoon transition.

The meeting concluded with participants dividing into groups based on shared research interests. Each group worked on summarizing the main scientific findings from the talks and discussions and identifying key questions that still need to be addressed.
