  abstract = {{W}arm pools - regions with sea surface temperature ({SST}) in excess of 28 degrees {C} - in the ocean occupy a special place in tropical climate owing to their impact on tropical convection. {T}he southeastern {A}rabian {S}ea presents {SST} in excess of 30 degrees {C} for two to three months preceding the onset of the summer (southwest) monsoon over {I}ndia. {R}ecently, several attempts have been made to understand the processes that cause such high {SST}s in the region. {T}he literature is also strewn with observations and modelling of a 'monsoon onset vortex' forming over the warm pool. {T}his paper is a review of our current understanding of the {A}rabian {S}ea mini warm pool and its possible role in the formation of the monsoon onset vortex.},
