Monsoon induced seasonal variability of sheltered versus exposed beaches along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 1987)Changes in profile configuration of the beaches at different locations along the west coast of India have been quantitatively compared by means of Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. These beaches, though exposed ... -
Monsoon onset over Kerala and pre monsoon rainfall peak
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, India, 2004)In the present study the pentad Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) estimate have been used, which is a blended product of microwave, infrared and in-situ gauge data for the region bounded by 8 degrees - 13 ... -
Monsoon oscillations of the Findlater Jet and coastal winds of India
(PORSEC 2002 Secretariat; Bogor; Indonesia, 2002)Intraseasonal variability (ISV) of the Low Level Jet (LLJ) and its effects on coastal winds during the Indian summer monsoon are examined using National Centre for Environmental Prediction / National Centre for Atmospheric ... -
Monsoon rainfall and contrasting source rocks influenced sediment composition of peninsular basins along the east coast of India (western Bay of Bengal)
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)The peninsular India is characterized by remarkable variation in lithological composition as well as contrasting rainfall distribution patterns. The erosional and weathering history of these source rocks along with monsoonal ... -
Monsoon regime in the Indian Ocean and zooplankton variability
(Unesco, 1986)The monsoonal effects on zooplankton lead to characteristic zoogeographic patterns in the open ocean and coastal waters. The evaluation of zooplankton variability in the Indian Ocean is presented in three sections: the ... -
Monsoon related changes in sea surface productivity and water column denitrification in the Eastern Arabian Sea during the last glacial cycle
(Elsevier, 2005)Sea surface salinity reconstruction for the Holocene and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) suggests that the LGM-Eastern Arabian Sea was more saline (by approx.5 psu) than the Holocene due to weakened freshwater flux to the ... -
Monsoon signatures in recent corals from the Laccadive Islands
(Indian Association of Sedimentologists, Aligarh, 1997)X-radiographs of the coral (Porites sp.) collected from several atolls of Lakshadweep show alternate bands of low and high density, formed in non-monsoon period and monsoon period, respectively. The results reveal annual ... -
Monsoon wind and maritime trade: A case study of historical evidence from Orissa, India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Monsoon plays a predominant role in the daily life of the people of South Asia. The use of monsoon wind in the Indian Ocean for maritime trade was a boon to the sailing ships to reach overseas countries. It is believed ... -
Monsoon-induced changes in the size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass and production rate in the estuarine and coastal waters of southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2010)Changes in the autotrophic pico- (0.2– 2 μm), nano- (2–20 μm), and microplankton (>20 μm) biomass (chlorophyll a) and primary production were measured in the estuarine and coastal waters off Cochin, southwest coast of ... -
Monsoon-induced temporal changes in beach morphology and associated sediment dynamics, central east coast of India
(Coastal Research Foundation, 1995) -
Monsoonal and ENSO impacts on particle fluxes and the biological pump in the Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)Data obtained by sediment trap experiments in the Indian Ocean were evaluated in conjunction with additional information derived mainly from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) expeditions in 1994/1995. Our results ... -
Monsoonal effects on beach and offshore sediments from kalbadevi bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra state, India.
(DAV publisher, 2014)Sediment samples representing the beach and offshore area of Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra were studied for different seasons along three east-west beach profiles (BP-01, BP-02 and BP-03) which covered berm, dune, ... -
Monsoonal fluctuations in the distribution of the hydromedusae in the Cochin backwater, 1968-1969
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1971) -
Monsoonal impact on planktonic standing stock and abundance in a tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters - India)
(Elsevier, 2007)Environmental studies in the Cochin backwaters (CBW), a tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India showed that seasonal fluctuation in salinity created by the monsoonal rainfall and associated run off is the major ... -
Monsoonal reversal of remote sensing biases in latent heat flux over eastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)The Arabian Sea is a unique basin where a number of atmospheric and oceanographic processes occur due to the contrasting climatic conditions, which it experiences. The drastic monsoonal variability occurring in the boundary ... -
Monsoonal variability in abiotic parameters in coastal waters off Trivandrum evokes press and pulse response in biotic variables
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)Trivandrum Coast experiences coastal upwelling during south west monsoon, which is accompanied by abiotic changes in physio-chemical parameters. The resultant biotic responses could range from an instantaneous pulse to a ... -
Monsoons, history of
(Academic Press, San Diego, USA, 2001)The evolution of the Asian monsoon started at around 9.5 Ma, in response to the uplift of the Himalayas. The monsoonal intensity reached its maximum at around 5 Ma, and from that time the associated easterly trade winds ... -
Monte Carlo simulation of diffuse attenuation coefficient in presence of non uniform profiles
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)This paper presents a Monte Carlo simulation of the vertical depth structure of the downward attenuation coefficient (K sub(d)), and the irradiance reflectance (R) for a given profile of chlorophyll. The results are in ...
