Oceanographic Observations in the Indian Ocean, March 1978. A Chemical Survey by Marine Environment Group,
Abstract
Chemical and physicochemical data on water samples taken at depths down to 4000 metres from eleven stations in the South-East Indian Ocean in March 1978 have been compiled. Samples from each station were analysed for variations with depth of temperature, salinity, pH and alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, metal ions and nutrients. From this material, comments have been made about certain parameters in sea water which may have long-term operational significance, viz. sound speed at various depths, the location of the deep ocean sound channel axis, the absorption of sound in sea water and the nature of the chemical environment at these stations.
