  abstract = {{I}n the present study, we use a coupled model to evaluate the effect of shallow salinity stratification on the sea surface temperature ({SST}) and on the monsoon onset in the southeastern {A}rabian {S}ea ({SEAS}). {A} 100-year control experiment shows that the coupled model reproduces the main climatic features in this region in terms of {SST}, precipitation and barrier layer ({BL}). {A} 100-year sensitivity experiment (where {BL} effects have been suppressed in the {SEAS}) shows that {BL} enhances the spring {SST} warming by 0.5 degrees {C}, and leads to a statistically significant increase of precipitation in {M}ay (3 mm/day) linked to an early (10 to 15 days) monsoon onset. {T}his suggests that the {BL} extent may be a useful predictor of the summer monsoon onset in the area with a two-month lead-time. {H}owever the effect above is mostly concentrated in the {SEAS}, and there is no significant impact over continental {I}ndia.},
