Mixed Layer Response to Monsoonal Surface Forcing in the Arabian Sea

Abstract

Our long-range objective is to observe and understand temporal and spatial variability of the upper ocean and identify the role of air-sea interaction in determining that variability. We seek to do this over a wide range of environmental conditions in order to improve understanding of upper ocean dynamics and of the physical processes that determine the vertical and horizontal structure of the upper ocean.
