Description 136-140
Three water masses in the Arabian Sea have been identified from their physical and chemical characteristics: (1) water mass which originates in the surface layer and has high salinity, low oxygen and high pH; (2) water mass below it which has its origin in the Persian Gulf and has high salinity and low oxygen; and (3) deep water which has low salinity, low temperature, lower nutrients but high oxygen and pH. Two oxygen minima are observed the 1st at depths between 100 and 400 m and the 2nd between 800 and 1500 m. Denitrification is observed at the level of the 1st oxygen minimum resulting in Δ N: Δ P ratio of 6:1 by atoms in water.
