Description:Remarkable warming of the Southern Indian Ocean during the recent two decades is assessed using a heat budget analysis based on the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean version 4release 3 model results. The annual mean temperature averaged in the upper-700 m Southern Indian Ocean during 1998 –2015 has experienced signi ficant warming at a rate of 1.03 × 10 /C02°C/year. A heat budget analysis indicates that the increase is mostly driven by decreased cooling from net air-sea heat flux and increased warming from heat advection. Increased Indonesian Through flow advection is the largest contributor to warming the upper 700 m of the Southern Indian Ocean, while the reduction of surface
