TL;DR: In this article, the authors deployed three moored arrays consisting of six time-series sediment traps at selected locations in the western, central and eastern parts of the deep northern Arabian Sea.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present total and bulk component fluxes measured for 3 years at the central station and for 4 years at different locations in the western and eastern stations of the Arabian Sea, showing that more than 50% of the annual particle fluxes to the deep sea occur during the SW monsoon at the western location due to the prolonged influence of the monsoonal upwelling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how fresh water injection might influence particle fluxes in the ocean, and hence the uptake of atmospheric CO2, and deployed three sediment-trap moorings (two traps in each mooring) in the northern, central and southern parts of the Bay of Bengal, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and their δ 13 C and δ 15 N values from 110 sediment samples from the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) continental shelf, northern Andaman Sea to decipher the concentration and source of organic matter.

TL;DR: In this paper, a time series of Indian geostationary satellite KALPANA-1 Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR) together with ground observations are used to analyze the temporal variation of the dust event that occurred from 19 to 24 February 2008 with the strongest intensity on 22 February.
