Upwelling and nutrient dynamics in the Arabian Gulf and sea of Oman.

This study demonstrates the vertical and horizontal distribution of nutrients and the seasonal response of nutrients to upwelling in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Thus, monthly data on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate are obtained from the World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA), as well as estimates of coastal and curl driven upwelling in both regions. The results of the study indicate that the Sea of Oman's surface and deep waters contained higher concentrations of nutrients than the Arabian Gulf by 80%.
