Description 201-211
Oceanographic data obtained during the Indo-Soviet Monsoon Experiments (ISMEX) of 1973 and during the METEOR cruises of International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) were used for calculating oxidative, reserved and organic fractions of nutrients in the North-western Indian Ocean. Distribution of sigma t values and the relationship between silicon and density were used for classifying water masses. Ratios were determined by atoms between apparent oxygen utilization (AOU), carbon, silicon, nitrogen and phosphorus. Consolidated ratio for ΔAOU: ΔC: Δ Si: ΔN: ΔP was found to be 280:108:40:16:1. On the basis of these calculations, a possible relationship indicating the chemical composition of planktonic algae has been suggested. Denitrification in this part of the Indian Ocean seems to take place at an intermediate layer extending from 24° N to 5° N.
