Interactive comment on “Vertical distribution of chlorophyll in dynamically distinct regions of the southern Bay of Bengal” by Venugopal Thushara et al.
Abstract:The Bay of Bengal (BoB) generally exhibits surface oligotrophy, due to nutrient limitation induced by strong salinity stratification. Nevertheless, there are hot spots of high chlorophyll in the BoB where the monsoonal forcings are strong enough to break the stratification; one such region being the southern BoB, east of Sri Lanka. A recent field program conducted during the summer monsoon of 2016, as a part of the Bay of Bengal Boundary Layer Experiment (BoBBLE), provides a unique high-resolution dataset of t… Show more
