En route from the U. S. to Bombay, India during February - March, 1963
an unscheduled oceanographic section of 13 stations was made in the Arabian
Sea between Aden and Bombay. Standard hydrographic casts were made to 1400 meters
indicated depth (1000 meters at Stations 1-3) for meas9rement of temperature,
salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrite, nitrate and silicate. A
large, plastic sampler was used to obtain water samples from depths corresponding
to 100, 50, 25, 10 and 1% of the sunlight incident to the surface. These
samples were used for measurement of primary productivity (C-14 method), phytoplankton
pigments, particulate carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus.
