摘要: During winter, along the east coast of India, near-surface flow is characterized by southward-flowing East India Coastal Current EICC which bends around Sri Lanka and enters into south-eastern Arabian Sea AS. This current carries cooler, low-salinity waters from head Bay Bengal BoB But due to a lack any direct in situ measurements, it not clear whether part this that flows through Indo-Sri Channel ISLC significant. An attempt made study look for observational evidence southward low salinity during winter. In absence measurements on observed currents non-navigable shallow ISLC, high resolution, advanced very resolution radiometer AVHRR sea surface temperature SST, sea-viewing wide field-of-view sensor SeaWiFS chlorophyll-a historic SSS data are utilized as tracers track water Pamban Pass Adam's Bridge ISLC. The analysis suggests both act barriers limit Gulf Mannar south
