Abstract

Experimental data on the vertical structure of theT, S temporal variations in the upper 1000 m layer of the Arabian Sea during the inter-monsoon period from April to June are reported. Variations in the upper mixed layer (UML) thickness and temperature distributed horizontally are considered. The local UML model was used to compute these variations from the atmospheric influence preset from observations.
