| Two expeditions in the northeastern Mediterranean by the R/V Bilim (in July 1988 and March 1989) scanned an area of about 3 x 10(5) km2 to determine, in situ, the relative fluorescence intensities of the upper layer waters. The in situ fluorescence intensities exhibited a fair correlation with the discrete chlorophyll-a concentrations when the concentrations exceeded 0.1 mug/L. Light intensities indicated that the euphotic zone had an average thickness of 100 m in the open waters. The deep chlorophyll-a maxima (DCM) at the bottom of the euphotic zone usually coincided with the maxima observed by in situ fluorometry and were a prevalent characteristic of the oligotrophic northeastern Mediterranean. The formation, maintenance and location of the DCM were... |

| Observations made during the International Indian Ocean Expedition provide the basis for a description of the summer circulation in the upper 500 m of the western Arabian Sea, off the coast of Oman. Under the influence of the south-west monsoon a pronounced geostrophic current develops along at least 1 000 km off the South-East Arabian coast between Ras Fartak and Ras al Hadd in May and the strong south-westerly wind brings about offshore transport of the surface layers between 55-degrees and 60-degrees-E. Water is upwelled onto the continental shelf from depths of about 150 m and this creates a strong negative sea-surface temperature anomaly along the coast, reaching a maximum development in July-August. With the decline of the monsoon upwelling ceases in... |
