Hydrographic response to winter shamal winds in the Northwestern Arabian Gulf

This study investigates the effect of air–sea heat fluxes associated with cold, dry Shamal wind events on the physical dynamics and vertical mixing of the shallow, semi-enclosed northwestern Arabian Gulf. In situ observations were combined with one-dimensional numerical simulations that used two two-equation turbul...

Warming in the Arabian Gulf: insights from satellite data and climate models

This study evaluates Sea Surface Temperature (SST) variability over a 30-year period (1994–2023) and future projections in the Arabian Gulf, with a focus on the coastal waters of Qatar. Analysis of satellite observations at the select stations reveals warming trends of the order of 0.022–0.034 °C/y. The station-based a...
