Abstract

Advanced Laser Fluorescence Analyzer (ALFA) data from the western Arabian Sea acquired on the R/V Roger Ravelle in June 2023. We participated in the Indo-US EXAMSAT-PILOT cruise undertaken in the western Arabian Sea in May - June 2023. EXAMSAT is a collaborative Indo-US field campaign funded by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India and the Office of Naval Research, focused on the acquisition of contemporary oceanographic and atmospheric datasets deemed critical for improving the pr...
