| | Saudi Aramco World : Arabian Sea |
 | | The age of piracy ended in the nineteenth century on the Arabian Sea; their coral lairs and sunken ships were abandoned to the relentless sea. | | | The sea leaks over the cup through the Gulf of Aden, which connects the Arabian Sea with the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Oman, which links the sea with the Persian Gulf. | | | This year, the sea is sharing in an unparalleled ocean study organized by the International Council of Scientific Unions to determine how the world's weather pattern is affected by the monsoons and to learn new geological facts about the Indian Ocean. |

| | EO Newsroom: New Images - Red Plankton in the Arabian Sea |
| | Phytoplankton concentrations in the Arabian Sea tend to be highest during September and October, towards the end of the summer monsoon. | | | The Arabian Sea is an unusual part of the world& oceans because it is surrounded by land masses from three sides, and light levels in the region are strongly influenced by cloud cover generated by the Indian monsoons. | | | The offshore drift of surface waters and their replacement by deeper, nutrient-rich waters means that the Arabian Sea is very productive, but such fertilization also sometimes results in copious phytoplankton production and oxygen depletion of the subsurface waters. |

| | The peak of the monsoon season in the Arabian Sea occurs in July, resulting in heavy cloud cover that obscured most of the area from view. | | | This possibility makes the Arabian Sea an important region for intense study. | | | One reason that the Arabian Sea is of particular interest is that some models of the Earth's future climate, as global warming influences the oceans and atmosphere, indicate that many patterns of productivity in the ocean will become more "monsoonal"; that is, more like the seasonal patterns observed in the Arabian Sea. |
