N2 fixation rates in the euphotic and aphotic zones of the Arabian Sea during the winter monsoon

The data provide values of N2 fixation rates in the euphotic and aphotic zones and the various environmental parameters for the Arabian Sea (the northwestern Indian Ocean) sampled during the Asian winter monsoon. The data also provide sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, sea level anomaly and climatological mean oxygen concentration. The shape file drawn for the coastal and the open Arabian Sea in Google Earth is also present.
