Cross-section of the zonal (80.15°E to 80.75°E) physicochemical parameters collected onboard ORV-Sagar Sampada during April-May 2009. The upliftment of thermocline, halocline, nutricline, elevated CO₂, and oxygen deficient water near 14°N (off Thamnapatnam) is due to upwelling resulted from divergence of water masses.
