Aerosols over the Arabian Sea

This paper provides an overview of dust transport pathways and concentrations over the Arabian Sea during 1995. Results indicate that the transport and input of dust to the region is complex, being affected by both temporally and spatially important processes. Highest values of dust were found off the Omani coast and in the entrance to the Gulf of Oman. Dust levels were generally lower in summer than the other seasons, although still relatively high compared to other oceanic regions. The Findlater jet, rather than acting as a source of dust from Africa, appears to block the direct transport of dust to the open Arabian Sea from desert dust source regions in the Middle East and Iran/Pakistan. Dust transport aloft, above the jet, rather than at the surface, may be more important during summer. In an opposite pattern to dust, sea salt levels were exceedingly high during the summer monsoon, presumably due to the sustained strong surface winds. The high sea salt aerosols during the summer months may be impacting on the strong aerosol reflectance and absorbance signals over the Arabian Sea that are detected by satellite each year.

Geochemistry at DSDP Leg 74 Holes

Clay mineralogical and inorganic geochemical data from the Campanian to the Pleistocene provide information bearing on the evolution of both continental and marine paleoenvironments in the Walvis Ridge area. (1) Alteration processes of basalts occurred under subaerial conditions during the Campanian and Maestrichtian and were virtually absent in deeper marine environments. (2) Strong tectonic effects were present during the Campanian and persisted until the early Eocene. (3) Subsidence of this part of the Walvis Ridge became important during the late Maestrichtian and continued into the Paleocene and Eocene. (4) The influence of global climatic cooling was evident from the late Eocene on. (5) Modification of oceanic circulation and the increasing influence of surface and deep water masses on the sedimentation characterized the Cenozoic.

Age models, accumulation rates, sand and carbonates at DSDP Leg 74 holes

Accumulation rates for the five sites drilled during Leg 74 of the Glomar Challenger are presented on a common timescale based on calibration of datum levels to paleomagnetic records in Leg 74 sediments for the Paleogene, and a new compilation by Berggren et al. (1985), for the Neogene, and using the seafloor-spreading magnetic anomaly timescale of Kent (1985). We present data on accumulation of total sediment, of foraminifers, of the noncarbonate portion, and of fish teeth that give a history of productivity, winnowing, carbonate dissolution, and nonbiogenic input to what was then a part of the South Atlantic at about 30 deg S.
