  Along the east coast of India (ECI), local winds are oriented alongshore
during the summer monsoon, favouring coastal upwelling. The East India Coastal
Current (EICC) during this period converges at 17$^{\circ}$N with northward
flow from the south and southward flow from the north. A high-resolution Ocean
general circulation model (OGCM) which includes runoff from major rivers
(RIVER) simulates the upwelling along the east coast of India during the summer
monsoon reasonably well. The model simulation shows that the upwelling
increases towards south, where salinity influence is lesser compared to the
northern parts. The presence of rivers suppresses upwelling, the depth of the
source of subsurface water becomes shallow from 100 to 60 m, and reduces the
SST cooling by 0.5$^{\circ}$C owing to the increase in stratification of the
water column.
