©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.We participated in the Indo-US EKAMSAT-PILOT cruise undertaken in the western Arabian Sea in May - June 2023. EKAMSAT 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 predictive skills of operational monsoon models. During the pre-monsoon season, akin to the warm pool that forms in the Western Equ...

The Automatic Laser Fluorometric Analyzer (ALFA) is a state-of-the-art instrument, that combines high-resolution spectral measurements of blue (405 nm) and green (532 nm) laser-stimulated fluorescence, with spectral deconvolution techniques to estimate CDOM, phytoplankton variable fluorescence (Fv/Fm), Chl a and three types of phycobiliprotein pigments.
