Description 369-379
As a part of the Bay of Bengal Process Study,
several biological characteristics were investigated during summer monsoon
(SuM; July-August 2001), fall intermonsoon (FIM, September-August 2002), spring
intermonsoon
(SpIM; April-May 2003) and northeast monsoon (NEM, Dec 2005-January 2006). Chl a carbon during SuM, FIM, SpIM and NEM
averaged 688, 767, 1212 and 1057 mg C m-2 in the western Bay (WB) and 518, 904, 789 and1023
mg C m-2 in the central Bay (CB). Primary productivity
(PP) averaged 326, 281, 366 and 280 mg C m-2 d-1 in the WB and 144, 306, 241 and 375 mg C m-2d-1 in the CB respectively. Shallow euphotic depths
