| Abstract: | The hydrographic structure in the east central Arabian Sea during premonsoon period undergoes significant temporal change
in the thermal field of upper 100 m, wherein temperature rises by about 0–5°C on an average from May to June. The major contribution
in increasing the surface layer temperature comes from surface heat exchange processes, while the horizontal advective process
tends to remove the heat from the upper layer. The geostrophic flow patterns are similar from May to June in the major part
of the study area while in the coastal areas off Goa a southerly current sets in June in response to coastal upwelling. |
