Arabian Marginal Seas and Gulfs

Abstract

The region of the Arabian Marginal Seas and Gulfs (AMSG) continues to be of paramount importance to the world community for a variety of economic and political reasons. The immense petroleum resources and their maritime export from the region and the complex evolution and conflict of competing political entities are constantly demanding attention. In May 1999, over 50 atmospheric and oceanic scientists gathered at the Stennis Space Center to assess their knowledge of this region and identify pathways forward in understanding the physical system regulating these marginal seas and gulfs. Each of the key components of the region is individually important and each presents complex scientific questions unto itself. One of our primary intentions, however, was to seek connectivity across the AMSG region.
