Temperature data collected by the Russian research vessel R. V. Priliv over Arabian Sea during three cruises of ISMEX 1973 from May to July 1973 have been analysed. Thermal conditions of two zonal sections along 11° 30’N and 16° 00’ and at buoy station (18°N, 67°E) have been depicted. Layer thickness increases from May to July. Linear regressions equations have been developed between mixed layer depth (MLD) and depth of 2loC isotherm below MLD. Internal waves have been identified in these areas and the wave parameters reported.
