A multi-level adaptation model of circulation for the western Indian Ocean
(John Wiley, 1999)A three-dimensional, fully non-linear semi-diagnostic (adaptation) model is described. This model is used to compute the climatological mean circulation and to understand the role of local, steady forcing of the wind and ... -
Anomalous circulation in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean during southwest monsoon of 1994
(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 ... -
BOBMEX: The Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)The first observational experiment under the Indian Climate Research Programme, called the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX), was carried out during July-August 1999. BOBMEX was aimed at measurements of important ... -
Circulation and watermass structure in the Central Arabian Sea during December 1982
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)After the cessation of the SW monsoon over Arabian Sea, the North Equatorial Current sets strongly and the low saline waters from the Bay of Bengal and the equatorial Indian Ocean penetrate into the Arabian Sea. This results ... -
Computation of large scale currents in the Arabian Sea during winter using a semi-diagnostic model
(Indian National Science Academy, 1997)A 3-dimensional, semi-diagnostic model with 331 levels in the vertical has been used for the computation of climatic circulation in the western tropical Indian Ocean. Model is driven with the seasonal mean data on wind ... -
Diagnostic model of 3-D circulation in the Arabian Sea and western equatorial Indian Ocean: Results of monthly mean sea surface topography
(Indian National Science Academy, 1996)A three-dimensional diagnostic model has been developed to compute the monthly mean circulation and sea surface topography in the Western Tropical Indian Ocean north of 20 degrees S and west of 80 degrees E. The diagnostic ... -
Hydrographic characteristics of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)Oceanographic studies in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean (58-61 degrees S and 30-40 degrees E) carried out during December 1995 and March 1996 indicate a 3-layer structure typical of summer in the oceanic domain ... -
Hydrography and circulation of the Bay of Bengal during withdrawal phase of the southwest monsoon
(Ifremer/ CNRS/ IRD/ Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves, 1999)Hydrographic data were collected from 3 to 10 September 1996 along two transects: one at 18 degrees N and the other at 90 degrees E. The data were used to examine the thermohaline, circulation and chemical properties of ... -
Indian Ocean circulation and productivity during the last glacial cycle
(Elsevier, 2009)The Indian Ocean is an important part of the global thermohaline circulation system, receiving deep waters sourced from the Southern Ocean and being the location of upwelling and surface-ocean current flow which returns ... -
Life cycle of eddies along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal and their implications
(Elsevier, 2012)Analysis of vertical thermohaline structure along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal revealed many undulations during April–May 2003. A prominent feature noticed was a dome in the northwestern boundary of the Bay ... -
Seasonal cyclogenesis and the role of near-surface stratified layer in the Bay of Bengal
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)The role of the near-surface stratified layer developed due to the spread of low salinity waters under the influence of freshwater influx on the cyclogenesis over the Bay of Bengal is addressed. The seasonal variation of ... -
Sensitivity experiments with an adaptation model of circulation of western tropical Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)One 18-level adaptation model of circulation with a flat bottom at 900 m depth has been used to study the sensitivity of the solution to different magnitudes of eddy viscosity and diffusivity coefficients. Three numerical ... -
Thermohaline circulation in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIB) during austral summer and winter periods of 1997
(Pergamon, 2001)As a part of Indian Deep Sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) aimed at assessing the environmental impact of manganese nodule mining in the Central Indian Basin (CIB), a study on baseline physical conditions of water column ... -
Thermohaline forcing of eastern boundary currents: With application to the circulation off the west coast of Australia
(Ingenta Connect Publication, 1986)The linear, viscid, continuously stratified model of McCreary (1981) is extended to allow for thermohaline forcing by a specified, longitudinally independent, surface density field @ips@@. When the ocean is unbounded and ... -
Winter cooling in the northern Arabian Sea
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)The upper thermo-haline structure and the surface meteorological parameters of the central and eastern Arabian Sea during the inter-monsoon (April-May, 1994) and winter monsoon (February-March, 1995) periods, were analysed ...
