The Arabian Sea as a high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll region during the late southwest monsoon
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)
Extensive observations were made during the late southwest monsoon of 2004 over the Indian and Omani shelves, and along a transect that extended from the southern coast of Oman to the central west coast of India, tracking ...
New polyhydroxy sterols from the marine sponge Callyspongia fibrosa (Ridley & Dendly)
(Elsevier, 2010)
Four new polyhydroxylated sterols are isolated from Marine sponge Callyspongia fibrosa collected from the Gulf of Mannar, western Bay of Bengal (India). The structural assignment is based on sup(1)H and sup(13)C NMR spectra. ...
Waves and currents in tide-dominated location off Dahej, Gulf of Khambhat, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
Based on measurements of waves, currents, and tides off Dahej in the Gulf of Khambhat, hydrodynamics are studied. Estimated tidal constituents show that primary lunar semidiurnal constituent M2 was the strongest constituent, ...
Skeletonema (Bacillariophyceae) in Indian waters: A reappraisal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
The planktonic diatom genus Skeletonema is common in Indian coastal waters. Recent taxonomic studies have uncovered high diversity in this genus, and it is expected that several species occur also in the highly diverse ...
The impact of global warming on the tropical Pacific ocean and El Nino
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010)
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a naturally occurring fluctuation that originates in the tropical Pacific region and affects ecosystems, agriculture, freshwater supplies, hurricanes and other severe weather ...
Fluctuations in productivity and denitrification in the southeastern Arabian Sea during the Late Quaternary
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Sedimentological and stable isotopic characteristics of sediments have been studied in a core from the southeastern Arabian Sea containing records of the past 70 ka. Palaeoproductivity proxies such as organic carbon (C ...
New evidence on the sequence of deglacial warming in the tropical Indian Ocean
(John Wiley, 2010)
The transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene was an internal of climate variability that was characterised by large spatial and temporal variations. Here we show that deglaciation warming in the northern ...
Phylogenetic diversity of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase genes from tropical estuarine sediments on the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2010)
Phylogenetic diversity analyses of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (AamoA) genes were carried out on sediment samples from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, on the central west coast of India. The ...
A note on the occurrence of reef inhabiting, red-bellied yellow tail fusilier, Caesio cuning from outside its known geographical array
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
The reef inhabiting fusilier, Caesio cuning, characterized by pinkish abdomen and yellow caudal fin exhibits shoaling behaviour and is known to be geographically distributed from the Gulf of Mannar to the Vanuatu Islands ...
Large fault fabric of the Ninetyeast Ridge implies near-spreading ridge formation
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)
Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) is a linear volcanic ridge in the Indian Ocean thought to have formed by hotspot volcanism on the northward?drifting Indian plate. Geological data from the ridge are sparse, so its tectonic evolution ...
