The Authors missed out a previous study on a similar topic. The additional reference is listed below as reference 1, and should appear in the text as below.
In the Discussion section,
“CaCO3 and TOC MARs (Fig. 2b,c) are considered here as proxies for past productivity variations in response to changes in regional forcing like surface water hydrography and nutrient supply in the BoB.”
should read:
“CaCO3 and TOC MARs (Fig. 2b,c) are considered here as proxies for past productivity variations in response to changes in regional forcing like surface water hydrography and nutrient supply in the BoB. An earlier study by Phillips et al. has discussed possible influence of salinity/hydrographic changes on marine productivity indicated by CaCO3 MAR in the northern Bay of Bengal1.”
and:
“Overall diminished fresh water flux during colder and arid sub-stages caused thinning of low salinity cap leading to destabilization of the water column stratification which triggered enhanced nutrient entrainment by wind driven processes and convective mixing leading to enhanced productivity (enhanced CaCO3 MAR).”
