The effect of cyclone on the ocean primary productivity in Bay of Bengal
The understanding about ocean primary productivity is very important as it is a key component of the Earth’s biogeochemical carbon cycles, as well as in predicting the response of marine biota to possible changes in radiative or other physical forcing because of global warming (Wang et al., 2009).
