Model simulation of tide-induced currents in Gauthami-Godavari estuary
(Current Science Association, 2013)
Predictive spatial distribution of flow field has been simulated from the time series data on currents and tides during dry season (11-19, February, 2009) in the Gauthami-Godavari Estuary utilizing TIDAL model. A 2D-Tidal ...
Sulfide oxidizing activity as a survival strategy in mangrove clam Polymesoda erosa (Solander, 1786)
(Bionano Frontier, 2013)
The clam Polymesoda erosa is a large dioceous bivalve mollusk found in the mangroves restricted in high tidal Avicennia sp. zone of the mangrove forest. The present study was aimed at understanding the occurrence of P. ...
A summer monsoon pump to keep the Bay of Bengal salty
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
The Bay of Bengal receives a large influx of freshwater from precipitation and river discharge. Outflow of excess freshwater and inflow of saltier water is required to prevent the bay from freshening. Relatively fresh water ...
Response of Penaeid Prawns (Metapanaeus monoceros) to textile dye industrial effluents (TDIE): An indicator of stress
(OMICS Group, 2013)
Studies on acute toxicity of textile effluents, collected from various Textile Dye Industries from Erode industrial area, Tamil Nadu, have been carried out. The juveniles of pink prawns (Metapanaeus monoceros) were exposed ...
Evolution of cyclonic eddies and biogenic fluxes in the northern Bay of Bengal
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
The Bay of Bengal has been traditionally known for its low primary productivity and varied reasons were attributed to it. The data analysis from the sediment traps deployed in the northern Bay of Bengal during the 5 yr ...
Barnacle larval transport in the Mandovi–Zuari estuarine system, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2013)
A two-dimensional hydrodynamic and particle tracking model was used to estimate the dispersion and retention of barnacle larvae from their possible spawning sites in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuarine system (central ...
Observation-Based Estimates of Surface Cooling Inhibition by Heavy Rainfall under Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)
Tropical cyclones drive intense ocean vertical mixing that explains most of the surface cooling observed in their wake (the "cold wake"). The influence of cyclonic rainfall on the cold wake at a global scale over the 2002-09 ...
Yanai waves in the western equatorial Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
Observations and models have shown the presence of intraseasonal fluctuations in 20-30-day and 10-20-day bands in the equatorial Indian Ocean west of 60 degrees E (WEIO). Their spatial and temporal structures characterize ...
Ancient coastal transportation system along the Western Saurashtra coast: Evidence from Navibandar
(Current Science Association, 2013)
A recent maritime archaeological exploration around Navibandar, Gujarat yielded evidence of ferry/jetty points. These points were well connected with the stone-paved roads. Interestingly, the roads have evidence of the use ...
Experiment to decipher the effect of heavy metal cadmium on coastal benthic foraminifer Pararotalia Nipponica (Asano)
(Palaeontological Society of India, 2013)
The response of benthic foraminifer Pararotalia nipponica to heavy metal cadmium is observed in laboratory experiment. The results indicate that under a given set of conditions, heavy metal cadmium is deleterious to benthic ...
