Concentrations of dissolved aluminium (Al) were measured in the Arabian Sea during three different seasons. Atmospheric Al concentrations and particulate Al fluxes at 100 m depth were measured during the northeast monsoon. Particulate Al fluxes in the deep Arabian Sea were determined from a 16 month...
