Physical forcing of biological productivity in the northern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Pergamon, 2001)
Time-series observations at a nominally fixed location in the northern Arabian Sea (21 degrees N, 64 degrees E) during the Northeast Monsoon (winter, February) of 1997 showed the prevalence of cold sea-surface temperatures ...
Biogeochemistry of the Bay of Bengal: Physical, chemical and primary productivity characteristics of the central and western Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon 2001
(Elsevier, 2003)
Reliable data on biological characteristics from the Bay of Bengal are elusive. In this paper, we present results on physics, chemistry and biology simultaneously measured during the summer monsoon, 2001 from open ocean ...
Real-time directional wave data collection
(Allied, Chennai, 2001)
The wave measurements carried out along the east and west coasts off India at 13 locations using the directional waverider buoys are referred in this paper. The total number of buoy days are 4501 and out of which the data ...
Artificial neural networks and its application in coastal urban development
(National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, 2004)
This paper briefly highlight the basics of the artificial nueral network so that it will be easy to understand its applicability and also highlight some applications related to urban development
Monsoonal impact on planktonic standing stock and abundance in a tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters - India)
(Elsevier, 2007)
Environmental studies in the Cochin backwaters (CBW), a tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India showed that seasonal fluctuation in salinity created by the monsoonal rainfall and associated run off is the major ...
First phase monitoring studies of simulated benthic disturbance delineating movement of fine particles in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Benthic disturbance due to future deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining would involve extensive sediment plume generation and resedimentation on the sea floor. In order to evaluate the effects of resedimentation on benthic ...
Monsoon related changes in sea surface productivity and water column denitrification in the Eastern Arabian Sea during the last glacial cycle
(Elsevier, 2005)
Sea surface salinity reconstruction for the Holocene and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) suggests that the LGM-Eastern Arabian Sea was more saline (by approx.5 psu) than the Holocene due to weakened freshwater flux to the ...
Marine molecular biology: An emerging field of biological sciences
(Elsevier, 2008)
An appreciation of the potential applications of molecular biology is of growing importance in many areas of life sciences, including marine biology. During the past two decades, the development of sophisticated molecular ...
Molecular Biomarkers: Their significance and application in marine pollution monitoring
(Springer, 2006)
This paper presents an overview of the significance of the use of molecular biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic tools for marine pollution monitoring. In order to assess the impact of highly persistent pollutants such ...
Bottom dwelling animals: Benthos
(WWF for Nature-India, 2004)
The beaches of Goa are predominantly sandy, and occupy about 4000 ha of area along the north-south coastline. An important component of the sandy beaches in Goa re the sand dunes in the supralittoral region. The coastal ...
