TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the characteristics of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) as observed in the Arabian Sea over the complete monsoon cycle of 1995 and find that the conditions found in the suboxic portion of the water column in the basin were not greatly different from what has been reported in the literature with respect to oxygen, nitrate and nitrite distributions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the data collected by the US JGOFS Arabian Sea Process Experiment (JGOFS) during all seasons in the northern Arabian Sea and found that the region exhibits considerable mesoscale variability resulting in extremely variable temperature-salinity (TS) distributions in the upper 1000db.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism for the entrainment of cold upwelled waters into plumes is hypothesized, and validated by observational data, and it is proposed that the location of the plume is primarily governed by the sea level structure away from the coast and that coastally upwelling water is passively advected offshore through regions of low sea level.

TL;DR: In this article, satellite-derived sea-surface temperature, TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) sea-level anomalies, model wind data, and hydrographic data are used to characterize the upwelling along the Oman coast during the US Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (US JGOFS) Arabian Sea Process Study (ASPS) in 1995 as well as to look at interannual variability in the Upwelling over the period 1993-1995.

TL;DR: The existence of a surface barotropic front-jet system at the confluence region off the eastern tip of Oman (Ras Al Hadd or RAH) is documented for 1994-1995 through advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) observations as mentioned in this paper.
