Assessing climate anomalies in the strait of Hormuz using gradient boosting and remote sensing–based environmental parameters
Shruti Kanga
Strait of Hormuz is a climatically sensitive marine transition zone in which interplay of complex air sea interactions, monsoonal forcing, and land ocean thermal contrasts produces a strong impact on the variability of environment in the region. The long term climate behavior of such confined coastal systems is a difficult issue to assess because of the nonlinear connections between the atmosphere and ocean, as well as vertical thermodynamic interactions and the sparsity of in situ measurements.
