Observed tides at Mumbai High offshore region near the continental shelf break in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Current Science Association, 2009)
The observed large tidal range (up to 3 m during spring tide) at the Mumbai High offshore region located near the continental shelf break, off the central west coast of India, is described based on simultaneous tidal ...
Metal and antibiotic-resistance in psychrotrophic bacteria from Antarctic marine waters
(Springer, 2006)
In the wake of the findings that Antarctic krills concentrate heavy metals at ppm level, (Yamamoto et al., 1987), the Antarctic waters from the Indian side were examined for the incidence of metal and antibiotic-resistant ...
Why is mean sea level along the Indian coast higher in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian Sea?
(Americal Geophysical Union, 2001)
Levelling observations conducted during the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India (1858-1909) and subsequent observations showed that mean sea level along the coast of India is higher in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian ...

An unreported diseased state of Porites lutea (Milne-Edwards and Haime) on the Kavaratti reef of the Lakshadweep group of islands (11 degrees N; 71 degrees E) is described
Science plan for coastal hazard preparedness
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)
The tsunami that hit the coast of India on 26 December 2004 reminded the country that our 7000 km long coastline is exposed to hazards and that we are not prepared to face all of them. Preparedness to guard against hazards ...
How consistent is the satellite derived SST-LHF relationship in comparison with observed values ?
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
Time series data for sea surface temperature (moored buoy), wind speed, air temperature, sea level pressure, relative humidity, short wave radiation and rainfall were collected close to the Lakshadweep islands for five ...

Monthly collections of the clam Paphia malabarica were made for period of 1 year from May 2002 to April 2003 from Verem, Mandovi estuary, Goa, India. Clams were categorised into two groups, 25-35 mm (small size) and 35-40 ...
Warm pool thermodynamics from the Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX)
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
Before the onset of the south Asian summer monsoon, sea surface temperature (SST) of the north Indian Ocean warms to 30-32 degrees C. Climatological mean mixed layer depth in spring (March-May) is 10-20 m, and net surface ...
