Effect of Dust Storm on Phytoplankton Productivity in Arabian Sea
Abstract: Dust storm plays an important role as it triggers phytoplankton in the ocean by adding nutrients. In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the role and relation between dust storm and phytoplankton concentration. Chlorophyll-a concentrations are an indicator of phytoplankton abundance and its biomass. Satellite data gives daily information on Chlorophyll-a concentration and so as phytoplankton abundance in the ocean as well as information about dust …
