Abstract:

Using MODIS data, the present study analyzed spatial distributions and annual variability of Bio-Geochemical concentrations from 2011 to 2020 in the Northern Indian Ocean. The study observed significant variations in the parameters such as PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), SST (Sea Surface Temperature), and Chlorophyll. The Annual composite images of MODIS-Aqua derived Chlorophyll & SST, PAR & POC were retrieved from 2011 to 2020, covering the northern part of the Indian Ocean. And the same study revealed increased solar radiation and a clear atmosphere during the study period. The minimum and maximum values for these parameters are derived by SEADAS 7.5.3.

Keywords:

Chlorophyll, Particulate organic carbon, Photosynthetically active radiation and Sea surface temperature, MODIS.
