40psu) create a cyclonic gyre in the center of the Persian Gulf. This gyre causes the water level to increase in this area in January, April, July, September and November.
5. The north of the Arabian Sea:
The northward flowing Somali current and the Oman coastal current are the most important and powerful currents in the Arabian Sea. The water level near 23°N is usually lower than the mean water level in the ocean.
6. Southern coasts of the Oman Sea:
The outflow from the Persian Gulf mainly goes toward this area. The water level has a weak fluctuation and is usually around zero in this area.
7. The line connecting Muscat to Chabahar and eastern coast of Chabahar:
The upwelling usually occurs in this area and the water level is usually greater than the mean water level in the ocean.
8. Rasal Hadd Area:
At the easternmost point of Oman (Rasal Hadd), interaction between the northward flowing Somali Current and Oman Coastal Current leads to forming the Rasal Hadd jet (also termed the Rasal Hadd front).
Moreover, a study of water level variations in 1994 results in distinguishing 3 different temporal patterns as; January pattern, October pattern and Calm pattern.
The results reveal that both of the maximum and minimum water levels observed in the south-east of Qatar were +57.5 cm and -47.5 cm, respectively. Water level fluctuations were intensified in October and January and were w]]>
