Anomalous current structure in the eastern equatorial Indian Indian Ocean during the south-west monsoon of 1994
(CSIRO, Australia, 2001)Analysis of hydrographic data collected along 80 degrees, 84 degrees and 88 degrees E between 5 degrees N and 3 degrees S during peak south-west monsoon (July-August) of the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean (EEIO) reveals ... -
Current structure and volume transport across 12 degrees N in the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Geostrophic currents and the associated volume transport across 12 degrees N in the Bay of Bengal during early southwest monsoon (April), southwest monsoon (September) and early northeast monsoon (November) show flow ... -
Determination of dynamic heights in the Bay of Bengal from XBT profiles and climatological salinities
(Sears Foundation for Marine Research, 2005)Dynamic height (DH) computations are necessary for the estimation of geostrophic currents, heat transport studies, identification of eddies and to validate the altimeter sea surface height (SSH) observations. To compute ... -
Estimating boundary currents from satellite altimetry: A case study for the east coast of India
(The Oceanographic Society of Japan, 2008)A methodology to derive surface geostrophic current from a newly released altimetric sea-level data set is presented. TOPEX/Poseidon data were first completely reprocessed from Geophysical Data Records using new algorithms ... -
Observed variability of sea surface salinity and thermal inversions in the Lakshadweep Sea during contrast monsoons
(AGU, 2005)The sea surface salinity (SSS) of the Lakshadweep Sea (LS) shows large seasonal variability due to horizontal advection of low (high) salinity waters from south (north) during winter (summer) monsoon. The measurements made ... -
Reference depth for geostrophic computation - A new method
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)Various methods are available for the determination of reference depth for geostrophic computation. A new method based on the vertical profiles of mean and variance of the differences of mean specific volume anomaly (delta ... -
Seasonal variability of upper-layer geostrophic transport in the tropical Indian Ocean during 1992-1996 along TOGA-I XBT tracklines
(Pergamon, 2000)Upper layer (0-400 m) geostrophic volume transport associated with the major current systems of the tropical Indian Ocean along the near-meridional TOGA-India XBT tracklines from Mumbai to Mauritius during 1992-1996 is ... -
Surface and subsurface geostrophic current variability in the Indian Ocean from altimetry
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)Geostrophic currents were calculated at the surface and subsurface levels in the Indian Ocean using satellite altimetry data from TOPEX/POSEIDON and Jason-1, a geoid obtained from the GRACE mission, and historical hydrographic ... -
Surface currents in the equatorial Indian Ocean during spring and fall - An altimetry based analysis
(PORSEC 2002 Secretariat; Bogor; Indonesia, 2002)This communication presents the results of a study aimed at investigating the nature and variability of surface currents in the equatorial Indian Ocean between 5 degrees N and 5 degrees S during spring and fall seasons. ... -
Watermass structure and current system in the equatorial western Indian Ocean during August, 1985
(Hamburg : Das Institut, 1987)During the 17th cruise of ORV Sagar Kanya (3rd to 21st August, 1985), two meridional sections were occupied between 4 degrees N and 6 degrees n S in the equatorial Western Indian Ocean. The Dynamic Method was employed to ... -
Watermass structure in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)The distributions of temperature, salinity thermosteric anomaly, density flux function and stability along 88 degrees E in the Bay of Bengal are presented. The surface salinities showed strong gradients both horizontally ...
