Effect of surface wind and wind vectors on sea surface chlorophyll a distribution in the ocean waters surrounding Sri Lanka for the period 1999 – 2003

Title: Effect of surface wind and wind vectors on sea surface chlorophyll a distribu...
Abstract: Ocean colour and surface wind data derived from Sea viewing Wide Field of view Sensor (SeaWiFS) were examined to understand the relationship between a biological parameter, chlorophyll a and a physical parameter, surface wind. SeaWiFS data of 1.1 km resolution for the period 1999–2003 were processed and mapped to produce daily maps of chlorophyll a, wind speed, meridional wind (mwind) and zonal wind (zwind) speeds within the area of latitudes between 2.0N – 13.5N and longitudes between 76....
