G. DIETRICH: The Unique in the Environment of the Indian Ocean
Fig. 4. Radiation temperature (in 0 C) of the sea surface in the western Arabian Sea on July 3, 1966
(After SZEKIELDA, 1970 a). The evaluation is based on radiation measurements of the weather satellite
Nimbus 2. Hatched area has a surface temperature below 24 0 C
c) Time-dependent Equatorial Undercurrent
d) Extremely poor renewal of the deep water, especially in the northern parts
We know that special conditions exist, but we do not know the details and exact
causes of the mechanism. Thus there is an important field for future work in physical
oceanography in the Indian Ocean.
