Arabian Sea Upwelling
R.I. CURRIE, A. E. FISHER and P. M. HARGREAVES
When the HOE was planned, it was considered a valuable objective to examine the
upwelling regions which had been reported in the Arabian Sea (BOBZIN, 1922) but had
never before been the object of scientific observation.
The only subsurface observations available from these areas were those made by
Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of the circulation during upwelling in Benguela Current. The features
shown seem to be common to all major coastal upwelling regions-the mirror image would hold
good in the northern hemisphere. (From HART and CURRIE, 1960)
the John Murray Expedition during the NE monsoon period of 1933 - 34, and no
information was available from the summer months during which the upwelling took
place.
The results of observations made on the following voyages have been used in the
