Comparison of the accuracy of SST estimates by artificial neural networks (ANN) and other quantitative methods using radiolarian data from the Antarctic and Pacific Oceans
(The society of Earth Scientists, 2009)The quality of quantitative estimates of sea surface water temperatures (SSTs) is evaluated for different techniques, Imbrie-Kipp transfer functions (IKTF), the modern analog technique (MAT), weighted-averaging partial ... -
Orbital frequencies in radiolarian assemblages of the central Indian Ocean: implications on the Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2003)Radiolarian distribution in surface sediments and its relationships with overlying surface oceanography provided impetus for down-core faunal variation related to changes in monsoon intensity due to the Earth's orbital ... -
Pyloniid stratigraphy - A new tool to date tropical radiolarian ooze from the central tropical Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2002)Pyloniid stratigraphy, a faunal abundance-variation stratigraphic tool, similar to Cycladophora davisiana stratigraphy employed at high latitudes, is found to work well for tropical radiolarian ooze. The relationship between ... -
Quaternary radiolarian faunal changes in the tropical Indian Ocean: Inferences to paleomonsoonal oscillation of the 10 degrees S hydrographic front
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, 1997)The northern Indian Ocean is characterized by three distinct surface water masses, i.e. (1) highly saline (greater than 34.5 ppt) Arabian Sea, (2) low saline (less than 34.5 ppt) Bay of Bengal and (3) a moderate salinity ... -
Radiolarian zonation and volcanic ash layers in two Quaternary sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Palaeontological Society of India, 1988)Radiolarian abundance in two Quaternary sediment cores, collected from the Central Indian Basin, was studied and Nigrini's (1971) and Goll's (1980) zones are recognised. New radiolarian zones Collosphaera orthoconus, ...
