Oceans/seas Indian Ocean Experiment

At the sea surface, NOs concentrations are below the limit of detection (<0.1 pM) in most areas including the equatorial Indian Ocean, which does not experience... 

The National Institute of Oceanography (Goa, India) conducted the Indian Deep-sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) for the Department of Ocean Development (Government of India) in 1997 in a pre-selected area in the Central Indian Ocean Basin after a detailed baseline study during 1995-1997. The DSSRS was used 26 times in an area of 200 x 3,000 m (656 x 9,842 ft) (Desa, 1997). Post-disturbance impact assessment studies indicated vertical mixing of sediment, lateral distribution of suspended particles, and differential effects on microbial, meio and macrobenthos both inside and outside the disturbance track (Ingole, Ansari, Matondkar, Rodrigues, 1999). The post experiment monitoring results after 5 years were reported by Sharma et al. (2003).
