Two Key Processes for Modeling Oxygen Minimum Zones in the Northern Indian Ocean

摘要：

　　The Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) is intense,reaching suboxic conditions (with oxygen concentration < ~5 μM) in the depth range from 200 to 1000 m.The Bay of Bengal OMZ is slightly less intense.This intensity contrast of OMZs in the northern Indian Ocean can be seen in the observation,but is often misrepresented in global ocean models with suboxic water in the Bay and significantly higher oxygen concentrations in the Arabian Sea.Here,we illustrate how two key processes working together can lead to such misrepresentation in an ocean model.We hope this study will help the OMZ modeling in the Pacific Ocean as well.
