Abstract:The Arabian Sea is an area of intense ocean‐atmospheric coupling that impacts its physicochemical, and biological processes. During the summer monsoon (June‐September), in the central Arabian Sea, a low‐level atmospheric jet blows parallel to the Arabian Peninsula causing open ocean upwelling in the north and downwelling in the south of the jet axis. High wind speeds are witnessed in the jet axis which advect nutrients from the Somali coast. Consequently, hydrography and physicochemical parameters show high sp… Show more
