  abstract = {{T}he strong seasonal cycle of sea level along the west coast of {I}ndia ({WCI}) has important consequences for ecosystem and fisheries, and the {L}akshadweep high/low in the southeast {A}rabian {S}ea is important for fisheries and the {I}ndian summer monsoon. {P}revious studies suggested that {WCI} sea level variability is primarily driven by remote wind forcing from the {B}ay of {B}engal and equatorial {I}ndian {O}cean through coastal {K}elvin wave propagation. {U}sing a linear ocean model, we demonstrate that wind forcing in a relatively small region around the southern tip of {I}ndia and east of {S}ri {L}anka contribute to similar to 60% of this variability. {W}ind variations from the rest of the {B}ay and the equator only account respectively for similar to 20% and similar to 10%. {S}ea level signals forced by the southern tip winds extend westward into the eastern {A}rabian {S}ea through {R}ossby wave propagation, with more than 50% contribution in the {L}akshadweep high/low region.},
