英文摘要 | Observations of ocean color in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during the late boreal summer and fall of 2016 reveal the highest surface chlorophyll concentrations (>1.0 mg m−3) ever reported in the region in the past two decades of the satellite era. Anomalous chlorophyll blooms were triggered by two cold-core eddies, along the periphery of the coastal upwelling zone. Observational evidence suggest that the eddy formation and propagation can be attributed to the local wind forcing and the remote effects originating around Sri Lanka and the southern tip of India (STI) during the extreme negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) of 2016. The eddy-induced anomalous shoaling of thermocline indicates strong upwelling of subsurface nutrients and chlorophyll and enhanced light availability for phytoplankton growth favoring the observed biological response. The study signifies the unprecedented impacts of extreme climatic events on oceanic chlorophyll and the need for better understanding of the associated biophysical interactions. © 2020.
