The effect of cyclone on the ocean primary productivity in Bay of Bengal

The understanding about ocean primary productivity is very important as it is a key component of the Earth’s biogeochemical carbon cycles, as well as in predicting the response of marine biota to possible changes in radiative or other physical forcing because of global warming (Wang et al., 2009). C...

Latifur GC Oceanography The understanding about ocean primary productivity is very important as it is a key component of the Earth’s biogeochemical carbon cycles, as well as in predicting the response of marine biota to possible changes in radiative or other physical forcing because of global warming (Wang et al., 2009). Chlorophyll-a has been known as the most important indicator for ocean productivity estimation (Nagamani et al., 2011).

Tripathy et al., 2012 had found the frequent occurrence of cyclonic events causes shortterm nutrient enrichment of upper-stratified ocean resulting in enhanced biological productivity. Upwelling and entrainment processes due to strong winds associated with cyclone will bring up nutrients and causes phytoplankton bloom (Reddy et al., 2008).
