Chemical characteristics of Central Indian Basin waters during the southern summer
(Pergamon, 2001)Chemical properties of the water column were examined at the Indian Deep-sea Environment Experiment (INDEX) site in the Central Indian Basin (CIB), as a part of baseline studies prior to the benthic disturbance experiment ... -
Chemical oceanography of the Arabian Sea Part iv Laccadive sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1979)Data collected during the 10th (October 1976) and 31st (March-April 1978) cruises of R V Gaveshani suggest that water movements, considered typical of island-arc regions, are responsible for high levels of productivity ... -
Chemical oceanography of the Arabian Sea: Part 1 - Hydrochemical and hydrographical features of the Northern basin
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1975)Three water masses in the Arabian Sea have been identified from their physical and chemical characteristics: (i) water mass which originates in the surface layer and has high salinity,low oxygen and high pH ; (ii) water ... -
Chemical oceanography of the Arabian Sea: Part II - Equilibrium of inorganic nitrogen system
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1975)The concept pE, expressed as a dimensionless quantity to study the redox potential of a system at equilibrium, is applied to study the chemistry of the system NO-<sub>3</sub>-NO-<sub>2</sub>NH+<sub>4</sub> in the northern ... -
Chemical oceanography of the Arabian Sea: Part III - Studies on nutrient fraction and stoichiometric relationship in the Northern and the Eastern Basins
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1976)Phosphorus and inorganic nitrogen compounds have been divided into 'reserved' andoxidative fractions based on their relationships with apparent oxygen utilization in the northern and the north-eastern basins of the Arabian ... -
Chemical oceanography of the Arabian Sea: Part vi - Relationship between nutrients and dissolved oxygen in the central basin
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)Inorganic nitrate and phosphate relationships with apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) in the Central Arabian Sea were studied using data collected during 103 cruise of R V Gaveshani (Feb. 1982). The consolidated ratio of ... -
Chemical oceanography of the Indian Ocean, North of the equator
(Elsevier, 1984)Chemical oceanographic studies in the North Indian Ocean have revealed several interesting and unique features. Dissolved oxygen northern boundary, prevents quick renewal of subsurface reducing conditions prevail at ... -
Circulation and Distribution of some Hydrographical Properties during the late Winter in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Charts showing dynamic topography, mass distribution, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and inorganic phosphate in the upper layers of the Bay of Bengal for the late winter period were analysed and presented. The ... -
Circulation and water masses of the Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1994)The circulation in the coastal region off Oman is driven mainly by local winds and there is no remotely driven western boundary current. Local wind-driving is also important to the coastal circulation off western India ... -
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 ... -
Coastal circulation in the North Indian Ocean: Coastal segment (14,S-W)
(John Wiley and Sons, New York, USA, 1998)The article provides an overview of the circulation of the coastal regime of the North Indian Ocean stretching from southern coast of Indonesia to the coast of East Africa. A special feature of this regime is that it ... -
Distribution of particulate organic carbon in the central Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1987)Particulate organic carbon (POC) was measured for 77 water samples collected over a 3000 in water column along 88 degrees E in the central Bay of Bental. The POC values varied from 80 to 895 mu g per litre at the surface ... -
Formation and spreading of Arabian Sea high-salinity water mass
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)The formation and seasonal spreading of the Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW) mass were studied based on the monthly mean climatology of temperature and salinity in the Arabian Sea, north of the equator and west of ... -
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 ... -
Larger foraminifera from a relict structure off Karwar western Indian continental margin
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1984)Grab samples collected off Karwar from a depth of 77-201 m yielded several larger foraminifera from calcareous relict sediments. This sediment was characterised by opaline silica which was formed during the close of the ... -
Numerical modeling of tide-induced currents in Thane Creek, west coast of India
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2001)A 2D numerical model was applied to study tide-induced currents in the Thane Creek, Maharashtra, India. The model was forced by the tide at Apollo Bunder, calibrated with the observed tide at Pir Pau, and verified with the ... -
