| Summary: | -35% less than the SW Monsoon. The standing stocks during and chlorophyll were determined via transrnissometers and and were greatly affected by nutrient concentrations and as part of the 1995 U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study. characteristically oligotrophic. Subsurface maxima of both diel variations (as large as 90m). Wind-mixing and upwelling distribution of PM and chlorophyll varied throughout the dominated the SW Monsoon producing deep nutrient-rich mixed During the Spring Intermonsoon period conditions in the fluorometers during a monsoonal cycle. Seasonal variations frequent presence of mesoscale features. high near the coast and decreased offshore. Horizontal in the extreme atmospheric forcing that lead to the greatest layers (-50m) with little diel variation. Light winds during mixed layer depths. Convective mixing was prevalent during Monsoon. This difference was much smaller than expected. monsoonal cycle. During the Spring Intermonsoonal period of the standing stock of PM and chlorophyll were on the same order of magnitude as spatial variations. The abundance and PM and chlorophyll dominated during that time. Variations in seasonal variability among the world's oceans. An intensive series of cruises was conducted in the Northern Arabian Sea standing stocks of PM and chlorophyll in the upper 100m were surface waters throughout the Arabian Sea became Temporal and spatial variations of particulate matter (PM) The Arabian Sea is of special interest because of reversals the NE Monsoon producing deep mixed layers (-70m) with large the PM and chlorophyll were directly related to the biology the Spring Intermonsoon allowed shallow mixed layers (10-20m) the SW Monsoon were only - 1 0% greater than during the NE to persist with small diel variations. Spacial distribution throughout the year was |
