| Description | : | An accurate representation of mixed layer salinity (MLS) in the numerical models is essential for better simulation of near-surface temperature and biogeochemical state in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Between February and December 2015, three moorings were deployed in an approximate triangle configuration in the northern BoB (nBOB) around 18°N, 89.5°E, with an approximate spatial separation of 30 km. The zonal and meridional sea surface salinity (SSS) gradients derived from the triangularly configured mooring array, along with near-surface meteorological and sub-surface measurements, provided an opportunity for the reliable estimation of all the major components of the MLS budget. Observation exhibits prominent sub-seasonal variability in the SSS comprising seven distinct freshening and salinification events with a range of 1.5 to 7 psu between August and December 2015. |
