The Arabian Sea Experiment - Water Salinity Data

The Arabian Sea Experiment, funded by the Office Of Naval Research,took place near the climatological mean axis of the Findlater Jet in the Arabian Sea. A moored array was deployed in order to improve understanding of air-sea interaction in the region, and in particular to investigate the oceanic response to the strong, large-scale atmospheric forcing associated with the summer and winter monsoons. The Upper Ocean Processes Group maintained a surface mooring at the site for one year. The nominal water depth was 4030 m. Water Salinity Data from this experiment include: Location: At 15 degrees 30N, 61 degrees 30EEEE Duration: 94/10/16 to 95/10/19 Sample Rate: 15 minutes Variables: Salinity Instrumentation: The SeaCats and MVMSs in the list of subsurface instruments measured salinity.
