Intensified Arabian Sea tropical storms

Nature, 2012
Arising from A. T. Evan, J. P. Kossin, C. E. Chung & V. Ramanathan , 94–97 (2011)10.1038/nature10552 Tropical cyclones over the Arabian Sea in the pre-monsoon season (May–June) have intensified since 1997 (ref. 1, Fig. 1a) owing to significant reductions in storm-ambient vertical wind shear (VWS) in

Arabian Sea Dynamics

1997
Abstract : The long-term goal of this research is to identify and understand the mechanisms that determine the features of stratification and motion in the upper 200 meters of mid-latitude oceans. This is the depth range over which surface fluxes of momentum and buoyancy have direct influence.

Oxygen in the Arabian Sea

Nature, 1990
Sir-Variations in the oxigen isotope content (δ^(18)O) of planktonic foraminifera from the Arabian Sea have been cited as evidence for stronger northeast monsoon current at the last glacial maximum (LGM), about 18 kyr ago, than during the present day.

Mesopelagic microplankton of the Arabian Sea

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2003
Abstract The Arabian Sea is notable for its dramatic monsoonal effects on euphotic zone biogeochemical processes and the large spatial extent of its mesopelagic oxygen minimum zone. As part of the US Joint Global Ocean Flux Study Arabian Sea project, we sampled microplankton (organisms 20–200 μm including diatoms, dinoflagellates, ciliates ...

Gobiiform Fishes of the Arabian Sea

2021
Gobiiform fishes are a highly diverse group with global distribution. In the Arabian Sea, this group is represented by four families—Butidae, Eleotridae, Gobiidae, and Oxudercidae—comprising 215 species in 77 genera. There are no endemic species within the Butidae.

Surficial sediments of the Arabian Sea

Marine Geology, 1981
Abstract Coarse-grained, low-carbonate sediments with high abundances of quartz and feldspar in the northerly areas of the Arabian Sea close to land reflect significant terrigenous sediment in fluxes primarily from the Indus River, and to some extent, from other sources.

Chaetognaths of the Arabian Sea

1973
During the IIOE (1959–1965) the Indian Ocean Biological Centre (IOBC) received 1927 Zooplankton samples, of which 1548 are standard ones (IOBC, 1969). Of these, 614 samples belong to the area extending from 10° S to 25° N lat. between 20° E and 80° E long. The chaetognaths identified from these 614 samples form the basis of the present study.

Reefs and Coral Communities of the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea

2000
Abstract The seas included in this chapter are the Arabian or Persian Gulf (simply “the Gulf “ in local usage), several of its components which experience extreme environmental characteristics, as well as the Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden (Fig. 9.1). These are all marginal seas of the Indian Ocean, partly because of latitude,

Nitrous oxide in the Arabian Sea

Deep Sea Research Part A. Oceanographic Research Papers, 1991
Abstract Measurements of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) at 16 stations in the Arabian Sea reveal high degrees of surface saturation (186 ± 37%) and consequently large atmospheric fluxes of N 2 O (4.46 ± 2.60 μ mol m −2 day −1 ). Unusually high for a non-upweling period, these values reflect the large vertical gradients of N 2 O just below the mixed layer as

Iron speciation in the Arabian Sea

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2000
Fe(III) speciation was measured in seawater collected as part of the United States Joint Global Ocean Flux (US JGOFS) Arabian Sea Process Study, Cruise TN045, March 14–April 10, 1995. The Fe-binding capacity of organic seawater ligands was measured in filtered seawater (
