  abstract = {{A} moored buoy was recently deployed at 8 degrees {S}, 67 degrees {E} in the shallow thermocline region of the {I}ndian {O}cean known as "{S}eychelles-{C}hagos {T}hermocline {R}idge' ({SCTR}), where the {M}adden {J}ulian {O}scillation ({MJO}) is associated with strong sea surface temperature ({SST}) variability. {W}e use observations from this mooring to describe the oceanic signature of two {MJO}s between {N}ovember 2007 and {F}ebruary 2008. {T}he four-month average upper ocean heat balance was largely between heating by atmospheric forcing (2.0 +/- 0.3 degrees {C}/month) and a significant cooling by subsurface processes (-2.2 +/- 0.8 degrees {C}/month), consistent with climatological {E}kman pumping in the region. {T}he two {MJO} events resulted in strong intraseasonal {SST} variations (1.5 to 2 degrees {C} in similar to 20 days) in the {SCTR}. {A}t the mooring site, atmospheric fluxes dominated the upper ocean heat balance at the {MJO} timescale, with the net surface heat flux into the ocean decreasing from an average 105 {W} m(-2) during suppressed phases to 15 {W} m(-2) during active phases of the {MJO}. {I}t is difficult to establish if {MJO}-induced variations of subsurface processes also contributed to the cooling because of large uncertainty in this term. {L}ateral advection had no systematic fluctuations on {MJO} timescales, but cannot be neglected at the mooring site. {C}itation: {V}ialard, {J}., {G}. {R}. {F}oltz, {M}. {J}. {M}c{P}haden, {J}. {P}. {D}uvel, and {C}. de {B}oyer {M}ontegut (2008), {S}trong {I}ndian {O}cean sea surface temperature signals associated with the {M}adden-{J}ulian {O}scillation in late 2007 and early 2008, {G}eophys. {R}es. {L}ett., 35, {L}19608, doi: 10.1029/2008{GL}035238.},
