Short summary
Influence of monsoon variability on the surface waves using measured data covering 7 years and reanalysis data from 1979 to 2015 during the Indian summer monsoon in the eastern Arabian Sea is examined. A high positive correlation (r ~ 0.84) between average low-level jet for the block 0–15° N, 50–75° E and wave height of eastern Arabian Sea is observed in all months except August. The monsoon seasonal average wave height is found to be relatively low during the strong El Niño years.
