Benthic foraminifera as proxy for oxygen-depleted conditions off the central west coast of India
(The Geological Society of India, 2007)
In order to study the response of benthic foraminifera, especially the rectilinear bi- and tri-serial benthic foraminifera (RBF) to oxygen-depleted conditions from the Arabian Sea off central west coast of India, 103 surface ...
Detection of Bay of Bengal eddies from TOPEX and in situ observations
(Sears Foundation, 2000)
Oceanic eddies have warm or cold temperatures and high or low sea surface height (SSH) at the center depending upon the direction of rotation. However, since the Bay of Bengal waters are highly stratified, sea surface ...
Reduced near-surface thermal inversions in 2005-06 in the southeastern Arabian Sea (Lakshadweep Sea)
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)
Repeat XBT transects made at near-fortnightly intervals in the Lakshadweep Sea (southeastern Arabian Sea) and ocean data assimilation products are examined to describe the year-to-year variability in the observed near-surface ...
Mahabalipuram: A saga of glory to tribulations
(Freethought Nation, 2003)
Mahabalipuram, a world heritage site, also famous as the sixth century centre of Pallava art and architecture in South India, was also a seaport right from the beginning of the Christian era. The epigraphical sources confirm ...
Role of beta 1-4 linked polymers in the biofilm structure of marine Pseudomonas sp. CE-2 on 304 stainless steel coupons
(Taylor and Francis, 2008)
Pseudomonas sp CE-2 cells attach and form biofilms on 304-stainless steel (SS) coupons. A series of experiments were carried out in order to understand the role of exopolysaccharides (EPS) in the formation and maintenance ...
Application of oxidative stress indices in natural populations of Perna viridis as biomarker of environmental pollution
(Elsevier, 2009)
Oxidative stress indices were measured in gills and digestive glands of Perna viridis collected from three coastal locations in Goa i.e., Bambolim, Marmugao Harbour and Malim. In addition to lipid peroxidation, the activities ...
Identification of internal waves off Visakhapatnam from Thermister chain
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, 2007)
An analysis of Internal Wave (IW) signatures by in-situ observations off Visakhapatnam has been presented to study the impact of IWs on acoustic field. Temperature data were collected for 44 hours at an interval of 2 minutes ...
Sediment concentration and bed form structures of Gulf of Cambay from remote sensing
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The continental shelf on the west coast of India is the widest off Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and leads to a strongly converging channel, the Gulf of Cambay (GoC). Tides in this Gulf are the largest on the Indian coast. ...
Genetic aspects of basalts from the Carlsberg Ridge
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)
The origin of the basaltic rocks with heterogeneous composition from the Carlsberg Ridge (CR) is of interest for more than one reason. In comparison to other Mid-Oceanic Ridge (MOR) systems sufficient data on petrochemical ...
Are sea-level-rise trends along the coasts of the north Indian Ocean consistent with global estimates?
(Elsevier, 2007)
Mean-sea-level data from coastal tide gauges in the north Indian Ocean wereare used to show that low-frequency variability is consistent among the stations in the basin. Statistically significant trends obtained from records ...
