[1] Bulk and size-segregated aerosol samples were collected from the NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown as it cruised from Cape Town, South Africa, through the Indian Ocean and into the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea (February to April 1999; 33 S to 19 N). Throughout the Northern Hemisphere, aerosol loading was greater than in the Southern Hemisphere. Samples collected in air that had passed over India sh...

[1] Ambient aerosol samples were collected over the Arabian Sea during the month of March of 1997, aboard the German R/V Sonne, as part of the German Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) project. This is the third study in a series of analogous measurements taken over the Arabian Sea during different seasons of the monsoon. Dichotomous high-volume collector samples were analyzed for ferrous ir...

[1] This study aims to quantify the impact of strong monsoons on the mixed layer heat budget in the Arabian Sea by contrasting forced ocean general circulation model simulations with composite strong and weak monsoon winds. Strong (weak) monsoons are defined as years with zonal component of the Somali Jet being greater (smaller) by more than a standard deviation of the long-term mean of the Nat...

Introduction Conclusions References

Measurements of small, intermediate and large ions made onboard ORV Sagarkanya over the Arabian Sea in May-June 2003 during Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX) are reported here. The daily averaged values of small-, intermediate-, and large-ion concentrations measured for 36 days during this cruise have been used for analysis. The analysis shows a weak positive correlation of 0.14 between in...

Abstract. Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged warm sea condition events that can have a destructive impact on marine ecosystems. The documentation of MHWs and assessment their impacts is largely confined to few regional seas or global mean studies. north Indian Ocean received almost no attention in this regard despite the fact ocean basin, particularly Arabian Sea, has been warming at most ra...
