THE EFFECTS OF MONSOON ON THE IRANIAN COASTS IN THE GULF OF OMAN

Monsoon is a very important meteorological phenomenon that affects a large part of the Indian Ocean every year. These effects sometimes extend to the seas and bays connected to this ocean, especially the Gulf of Oman, and have destructive effects on the economic activities of this area. Although the effects of monsoon on the coasts of Iran are much less than the coasts of the Arabian Sea, but local reports indicate that the monsoon usually affects two bays belonging to Iran, Chabahar Bay and sometimes Pazm Bay in the northeast of the Gulf of Oman. In this research, the monsoon phenomenon in the northwest of the Indian Ocean has been analyzed in order to investigate its effects on the waters of the Gulf of Oman. One of the important results of this study is the extraction of Monsoon Line. In this study, the monsoon line is defined as the boundary line of the monsoon. This line, if we call it the Monsoon line, indirectly connects Ras Al-Had to the west of Chabahar Bay and sometimes also includes Pazm Bay.
