High Resolution Time Series Observations of Bio-optical and Physical Variability in the Arabian Sea

Abstract

An interdisciplinary mooring field study was conducted in the Arabian Sea (October 1994 - November 1995) as part of the ONR Forced Upper Ocean Dynamics Program activities in the region. The Arabian Sea presents a very unique environment for study of bio-optical and physical processes and their interactions. This region is attractive because of its regular and intense atmospheric forcing which causes extremely strong responses in both the physics and biology of the upper layer. Thus, dynamical ranges in measured properties are great, enabling us to apply and test time dependent interdisciplinary models relevant to bio-optical properties and carbon fluxes.
