SN-105 is the first cruise conducted as a part of the Second International Indian Ocean Expedition
(IIOE-2). IIOE-2 was launched as well as SN-105 was flagged off at Goa by the Minister of State
for Science and Technology, Govt. of India on 4 December 2015. The major objective of this multidisciplinary
observational expedition is to understand the structure of water masses in the western
Indian Ocean along 67E and possibly assess the difference in their characteristics with respect to
the measurements made during IIOE. The other objective of the cruise is to understand the
physical-chemical-biological characteristics in the equatorial Indian Ocean and their interrelationships.
The major observational objectives are to map the hydrography in the upper 1000m
where the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea High Salinity water are known to be present,
collect water samples to determine chemical, biological and optical parameters.
