The aim of the project is to monitor the health of marine ecosystems in Northern Bay of Bengal (BoB) using a combination of biogeochemical models and Artificial Neural Network. This will incorporate the following satellite and insitu data - SST (from AVHRR satellite), SSS (Aquarius satellite), velocities (OSCAR dataset), light (from irradiance data of MODIS aqua and terra satellite), pH (from modeling), pCO2 and pO2 (from modeling), chl-a (from MODIS satellite) all linked together using an Artificial Neural Network to determine the health of the ecosystem. The annual variation of the above parameters will be looked at in the
effort to predict the ecosystem health in the continental shelf of Northern Bay of Bengal.
