Primary production is a key marine ecosystem driver in the Bay of Bengal and important for societies economies surrounding countries. Although availability inorganic nutrients known to control primary this region, specific nutrient sources that affect different parts bay have not been identified. In study, we assess importance from determining chlorophyll-a concentration, an indicator productio...

An intrathermocline eddy (ITE) was detected to the northwest of Preparis Channel by in situ measurements January 2018. The ITE had a horizontal extent approximately 200 km and maximum velocity 60 cm/s at core depths between 75 130 m. This generated transformation from preexisting surface-intensified anticyclonic (SAE). blocking northeast monsoon Arakan Yoma Mountains resulted weak wind stress o...

Interactions are diagnosed between a marine heatwave (MHW) event and tropical super cyclone Amphan in the Bay of Bengal. In May 2020, an MHW developed Bengal driven by coupled ocean-atmosphere processes which included shoaling mixed layer depth due to reduced wind speed, increased net surface shortwave radiation flux into ocean, upper ocean stratification, sub-surface warming. Ocean temperature...
