Abstract: Research indicates that the Bay of Bengal contains a two-gyre circulation system, one cyclonic and the other anticyclonic. The chlorophyll maximum was found to be almost twice as high in the cyclonic region than in the anticyclonic region, although its depth is larger in the anticyclonic region.
