(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)Geostrophic circulation derived from hydrographic data collected during July-August, 1994 along 80, 84 and 88E between 5N and 3S latitudinal belt in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean is presented. A broad westward flow ... -
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 ... -
Butyltins in the sediments of Kochi and Mumbai harbours, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2006)Surface sediment samples were collected from various locations in the Mumbai and Kochi harbours, west coast of India, to assess the presence of butyltin compounds. Tributyltin (TBT) and dibutyltin (DBT) varied from 16 to ... -
Current and temperature structure of Rihand Lake
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, India, 1993)The environmental parameters such as wind, water and air temperatures, and currents were measured in Rihand Lake, Madhya Pradesh, India during the hotest months, May-June of 1983. Rihand is an artificial lake having an ... -
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 ... -
First results of Indian - Current meter moorings along The equator: Vertical current structure variability at equator, 93 degrees E during February-December, 2000
(PORSEC 2002 Secretariat; Bogor; Indonesia, 2002)The first results of time-series current data obtained from 6 levels at equator, 93 degrees E in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean during February-December 2000 are analyzed. The top RCM was located at 135m. The mean ... -
Gyres in the NW Bay of Bengal - Some observed evidences
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)Continuous observations of temperature, salinity and the flow at 4 stations off the rivers of Krishna, Godavari, Mahanadi and off New Moore Island, along the east coast of India, were made prior to the onset of the SW ... -
Hydrophysical manifestations of the Indian ocean tsunami
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)The horrendous destruction caused by the tsunami waves due to the earthquake in the west coast of northern Sumatra (3.307 degrees N; 95.947 degrees E) at 30 km depth with a magnitude of 9.3 on Richter scale at 00.59 UTC ... -
Mesozooplankton of the Arabian Sea: Patterns influenced by seasons, upwelling, and oxygen concentrations
(Elsevier, 2005)The intensive study of the Arabian Sea during the 1990s included mesozooplankton investigations by the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Germany and the United States. Several major discoveries resulted. First, ... -
Numerical simulation of wind wave surface profiles with tuned phase spectra
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)It is known that the phases of the individual harmonic components in a linear narrow band wave spectrum are uniformly random. It has been suggested by some workers that some sort of phase coupling and `locking' between the ... -
Ocean currents structuring the mesozooplankton in the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, southeast coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)We hypothesis perceptible physical barriers that exist between the deep Gulf of Mannar and shallow Palk Bay located between India and Sri Lanka, and seasonally reversing surface circulation patterns in the region have a ... -
On the dynamics of the Lakshadweep high and low in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 1997)Hydrography and altimetry show that a "high" in surface topography forms off southwest India in January (midnortheast monsoon) and that a "low" forms during the southwest monsoon; the high and low, called Lakshadweep high ... -

Role of environment and hydrography in determining the picoplankton community structure of Sagami Bay, Japan
(The Oceanographic Society of Japan, 2009)Seasonal variations in the picoplankton community were investigated from June 2002 to March 2004 within the photic zone of Sagami Bay, Japan. The study area was mostly dominated by coastal waters during the warm period ... -
