    Abstract
    The temporal evolution of heat budget parameters for the southwestern Arabian Sea shows that the net surface heat balance is negative (approx 70 Wm sup(-2)) in May 1988 (phase 1) mainly due to excessive latent heat loss over the radiation income while during August-September 1988 (phase 2), it has become positive on account of decrease in evaporative heat flux by about 25% of the phase 1 value (approx 240 Wm sup(-2)). The lowering of specific humidity gradient by 1.5 from phase 1 to phase 2 is mainly responsible for lower evaporation rates during the latter period. The monsoonal cooling (approx 87 Wm sup(-2)) effects confine to upper 100 m layer and the heat gain at an average rate of about 160 Wm-2 is noticed below upto 500 m depth. The cooling in the upper layers is partly accountEd. by the surface heat exchange processes and the subsurface heat gain suggests the influence of sinking motion in the study area wherein the dynamic topography field is predominantly characterised with clockwise circulation
