(Springer, 2001)
The marine cyanobacteria Oscillatoria salina Biswas, Plectonema terebrans Bornet et Flanhault and Aphanocapsa sp. degraded Bombay High crude oil when grown in artificial seawater nutrients as well as in plain natural ...
Evaluation of trophic state and plankton abundance from the environmental parameters of Visakhapatnam Harbour and near-shore waters, east coast of India
(Scientific Publishers, 2005)
The present work describes the nutrient indices of the Visakhapatnam harbour and near-shore waters. The inner channels of Visakhapatnam harbour are considered to be eutrophic while near-shore waters (coastal and inshore ...
Nature, source and composition of volcanic ash in sediments from a fracture zone trace of Rodriguez Triple Junction in the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2006)
Volcanic glasses associated with pumice, micro nodules and palagonite like lithic fragments were recovered from a volcanic terrain in a fracture zone defined as Rodriguez Triple Junction trace in the Central Indian Basin. ...
Sediment dispersal during ne monsoon over northern Bay of Bengal: Preliminary results using IRS-P4 OCM data
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
False Color Composite (FCC) from the sequential satellite images of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite IRS-P4 OCM (bands around 443, 555, and 845 nm) together with sea truth data acquisition at 42 stations along the Orissa ...
Oceanography of marginal seas
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The North Indian Ocean consists of three marginal seas; The Persian Gulf and the Red Sea in the west and the Andaman Sea in the east. Oceanographic features of these semi-enclosed basins have been discussed in this article. ...
Wave characteristics around Sittwe Port, Myanmar
(Naval Science and Technological Laboratory, Visakhapatnam, 2006)
This paper presents wave characteristics estimated around Sittwe port, which is located on the Paton Peninsula, Myanmar. Wind data recorded from January 1998 to December 2001 at Sittwe port was used for estimation of wave ...
Impact of sewage on the distribution, abundance and community structure of rocky intertidal macroalgae of the Colaba Coast, Mumbai, India
(Seaweed research and Utilization Association, 2003)
Three transects T1, T2, T3 in the intertidal area of Colaba were sampled for macroalgal distribution, abundance, species composition, diversity and standing stock estimation during 1997-98. Transect T2 was in the vicinity ...
Remote sensing of sea state through a Polaroid
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2006)
The visible light reflected from a wind-roughened sea surface contains information about the sea state in the form of its polarisation status. Each sea state is characterised by a specific wave-slope distribution depending ...
An ENSO beginning in the year 2000?
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
Several models have been developed over the last few decades to predict the advent of new ENSO events several months in advance of the actual event. None of the models have predicted a warm event beginning by the year 2000. ...
Comparative accounts of biological productivity characteristics and estimates of carbon fluxes in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2005)
The Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengalare tropical basins experiencing monsoonalwind forcing that reverses semiannually. This brings changes in physics, chemistry and biology of the upper water column on a seasonal scale ...
