Preliminary Investigation of Seasonal Flow Patterns in the Somali Current and Arabian Sea Using a Synthesis of Surface Drifter and Satellite Altimeter D

Active / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA624493 |

Abstract:

The long-term goal is to inform strategies for remote deployment of autonomous instrumentation into the maritime piracy zone of the Arabian Sea, where the unsteady monsoon circulation and lack of observations make for one of the most compelling and challenging regions of the world ocean to study.
