Estuarine turbidity maximum in six tropical minor rivers, central west coast of India
(IWA Publishing, 2018)
Understanding patterns of erosion and sedimentation and their driving mechanisms is important for formulating a variety of estuarine management issues (conservation, shoreline protection, navigation, dredging and embanking). ...
Indian monsoon variability in the last 2000 years as inferred from benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2018)
The effect of ambient conditions on living (Rose-Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera has been studied from the shelf and slope of the central-western Bay of Bengal to assess the applicability of temporal changes in benthic ...
Behaviour of trace metals in the anoxic environment of Veraval harbour, India
(Elsevier, 2018)
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the behaviour of trace metals in anoxic environment. Water column of the harbour was found to be anoxic (DO <0.2mgl-1) with high concentration of NH4+-N (av. 459±21-moll-1) ...
Morphological characteristics of bioaerosols from contrasting locations in southern tropical India - A case study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Bioaerosols, which are ubiquitous in the earth`s atmosphere, are poorly characterized in terms of their physical and chemical properties Improved knowledge of their physical and chemical properties is essential to have a ...
Mesoscale process-induced variation of the West India coastal current during the winter monsoon
(Springer, 2015)
This manuscript presents the analysis of current meter records at Kollam and Kannur along the 20-m isobaths during November-December 2005 Currents in the coastal waters are strongly influenced by winds (both local and ...
Status and review of health of Indian coral reefs
(Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries University of Kerala, 2015)
Status of reef health incorporating species-wise cover of scleractinians has been reported covering 61 stations in 29 reef locations of the four major reef regions in India as of March 2011, alongside a review of available ...
Ecological indications of copepods to oxygen-deficient near-shore waters
(Elsevier, 2018)
Dissolved oxygen deficiency and its impacts on marine organisms is an important research topic world over. In this study, we utilized the advantage of a shallow seasonal hypoxic zone occurring along the Southwest Coast of ...
River plume fronts and their implications for the biological production of the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean
(Inter-Research Science Center, Oldendorf/Luhe, Germany, 2018)
Fronts are the physical interface between water masses of distinct hydrographic characteristics and are ubiquitous features of the Bay of Bengal (BoB). They form as a result of receiving high freshwater runoff from many ...
Modulation of equatorial Pacific westerly/easterly wind events by the Madden-Julian oscillation and convectively-coupled Rossby waves
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)
Synoptic wind events in the equatorial Pacific strongly influence the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) evolution. This paper characterizes the spatio-temporal distribution of Easterly (EWEs) and Westerly Wind Events ...
Seasonal variations in the water quality of six tropical micro and meso-tidal estuaries, central west coast of India
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2018)
Seasonal nutrient dynamics were investigated in four rivers with a microtidal range (Terekhol, Chapora, Sal and Talpona rivers) and were compared with those of two rivers with a mesotidal range (Zuari and Mandovi rivers) ...
