The Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole (SIOD) is a climate pattern in the Indian Ocean that is characterized by variations in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the region, typically occurring in the southern Indian Ocean. It is similar to the more widely recognized Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), but it involves different dynamics and has a distinct seasonal cycle.
