The Interplay Between Submesoscale Instabilities and Turbulence in the Surface Layer of the Bay of Bengal BAY OF BENGAL: FROM MONSOONS TO MIXING
The Air-Sea Interactions Regional Initiative (ASIRI) aims to understand vertical fluxes of momentum and heat across the surface layer in the Bay of Bengal. As the mesoscale and submesoscale eddies redistribute freshwater input over saline water of the bay, they influence the vertical distribution of salinity and thus impact air-sea fluxes. This study reports on numerical simulations performed t...
متن کاملBay of Bengal nutrient-rich benthic layer
A nutrientand carbon-rich, oxygen-poor benthic layer is observed in the lower 100m of the central and western Bay of Bengal, at depths between 3400 to 4000m. The observed ratios for the biogeochemical anomalies in the benthic layer water are similar to those observed for phytoplankton blooms in open oceans and hence suggest that the source of the high silica, phosphate, nitrate and carbon is li...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Flood Effect on Environmental Parameters of Gorgan Bay
Abstract In mid-March 2019, severe floods occurred in the northern provinces of Iran (Golestan and Mazandaran). Coastal areas, wetlands and bays are strongly influenced by water inputs from land. In this study, the nutrients (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silica and ammonium) and other physicochemical parameters (salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and water temperature) at 8 selected stations in th...
متن کاملGeography and Oceanography of the Bay of Bengal with Drainage Basins
The Global International Waters Assessment (GIWA) subregion 53, Bay of Bengal (Fig. 1) includes the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) (1), and associated watersheds. The nations of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka are all in the Bay of Bengal Subregion (BOBSR). The major land area of India, a relatively minor part of Indonesia (eastern Sumatra), western Pen...
متن کاملPhytoplankton composition and diversity in Gorgan Bay, Golestan province
This study was carried out to investigate the phytoplankton composition in Gorgan Bay. Water samples were collected from 11 selected sites in Golestan bay, monthly from March to February. Thirty five genus were identified among which Bacillariophyta was the dominate group with 17 genus, while the Euglenophyta had the minimum. Abundance and biomass of phytoplankton showed spatial and temporal va...
