The eastern Indian Ocean (EIO) is an area of active ocean-atmosphere interactions, affecting monsoons and other regional and global climate variations. In turn, variability in monsoonal winds and rainfall together with water mass exchanges with surrounding regions, including the unique throughflow from the Pacific, modify physical and biogeochemical conditions in the EIO. Although upwelling in the EIO is an essential process modulating the upper-ocean conditions within a warm water pool region and connecting regional physics with biogeochemistry, ecology and climate variations, our understanding of the characteristics and mechanisms of the upwelling systems and their roles in larger systems in the ocean and climate are very limited due mainly to scarcity of in situ observations both in physical and biogeochemical parameters.
