Spreading and Vertical Structure of the Persian Gulf and Red Sea Outflows in the Northwestern Indian Ocean

Abstract: The northwestern Indian Ocean, encompassing the Arabian Sea, is a region where water masses with various characteristics interact with each other. Two of them, exhibiting high salinity values, originate from semi-closed basins subject to important evaporation: the Red Sea and Persian Gulf (Cember, 1988;Yao & Johns, 2010). As these outflows spread out of their basins of formation, in the Gulf of Aden and Oman (see Figure 1 for locations), they plunge and are diluted, losing salt and heat, and equilibrate (Prasa… Show more

“…De Marez et al [3] found ASHSW trapped by a composite AE in the northern Arabian Sea. PGW has also been found trapped in eddies, such as the Ras Al Hamra dipole, and the composite AE and CE in the northern Arabian Sea within the same depth range [3,8,11].…”

“…The RSW is present mainly in the Gulf of Aden and along the west side of the Arabian Sea. It retains a significant signature in the northern and eastern parts of the Arabian Sea, while it is more diluted to the southwest [8,12]. The study area tends to react quickly to changes in the mesoscale patterns of E-P (freshwater fluxes), which alters the characteristics of the water formed in both PGW and RSW.…”

“…These vortices then deform and break up under external shear and strain (L'Hégaret et al, 2016), recirculate within the Gulf of Oman and PGW is diluted. Furthermore, previous studies have described double-diffusive conditions (salt fingering; Turner, 1967) beneath PGW in the Arabian Sea (L'Hégaret et al, 2021). Salt fingering is a type of double diffusion that occurs when temperature and salinity gradients have the same sign: where warm and saline water (spicy) overlays colder and fresher water (minty).…”
