Mixed Layer Response to Monsoonal Surface Forcing in the Arabian Sea

Abstract

Our long-range scientific objectives are to observe and understand the temporal and spatial variability of the upper ocean and to 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 our understanding of upper ocean dynamics and of the physical processes that determine the vertical and horizontal structure of the upper ocean.
