A super short abstract on ASOMZ

What kind of committee would make such a demand for super short abstracts? 
 
I had an abstract of 800 words. (Yes, I know it is too long.) 
 
So, I just spent 30 mins to shorten it to less than 160 words.
 
Here it is. 
 

ON THE EASTWARD SHIFT OF THE ARABIAN SEA OXYGEN MINIMUM ZONE

 
Observations indicate that the upper part of the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (ASOMZ; above 400 m) appears to the east of most productive regions along the western boundary of the Arabian Sea. There is no consensus about what causes the so-called “eastward shift.”

We use a coupled biological/physical model to investigate the processes that determine the “eastward shift.” The physical component of the model is a variable-density, 6 1/2-layer model, with each layer corresponding to a distinct dynamic regime or water-mass type.  Its biological component consists of a set of advective-diffusive equations in each layer that determine nitrogen concentration in five compartments, namely, nutrients, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and two size classes of detritus. In addition, the model contains an oxygen compartment that reacts to production and consumption of dissolved inorganic nitrogen in the biological system. We will show the relative roles of physical versus biological processes in generating the so-called “eastward shift” in the upper ASOMZ.
