Title: Phy-13: Phytoplankton bloom in the Bay of Bengal during the northeast monsoon...
Abstract: Satellite derived chlorophyll a imageries are used to present a phytoplankton bloom in the Bay of Bengal during the northeast monsoon (November–February) and the mechanisms that can up well nutrients to sustain the bloom are investigated using sea level anomalies and winds. OCTS and Sea WiFS chlorophyll a images show that there is a phytoplankton bloom in the south western part of the bay during November–January. The chlorophyll a concentration of the bloom can be as high as 2 mg m_3 compa...
