Biophysical processes in the Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Basic physical processes that impact biological activity in the Indian Ocean (IO), namely, near-surface processes (upwelling, entrainment, detrainment, and advection) and subsurface circulations (shallow overturning cells ...
Geochemical characterization of oceanic basalts using artificial neural network
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2009)
The geochemical discriminate diagrams help to distinguish the volcanics recovered from different tectonic settings but these diagrams tend to group the ocean floor basalts (OFB) under one class i.e., as mid-oceanic ridge ...
An occurrence of approx. 74 ka Youngest Toba tephra from the western continental margin of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)
A dispersed volcanic ash layer was recovered at ~6 300 cm depth in a 5.52 m long sediment core collected at a latitude 9~'21'E from a water depth of 2300 m on the Western Continental Margin of India (WCMI). Glass shards ...
Resolving orographic rainfall on the Indian west coast
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2008)
We discuss a method to obtain the spatial estimates of rainfall on the Indian west coast for calculating the surface water budget. The region includes the basin of the Mandovi River, a typical west-coast river whose catchment ...
Surface and subsurface geostrophic current variability in the Indian Ocean from altimetry
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
Geostrophic currents were calculated at the surface and subsurface levels in the Indian Ocean using satellite altimetry data from TOPEX/POSEIDON and Jason-1, a geoid obtained from the GRACE mission, and historical hydrographic ...
Improved bathymetric datasets for the shallow water regions in the Indian Ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
Ocean modellers use bathymetric datasets like ETOPO5 and ETOPO2 to represent the ocean bottom topography. The former dataset is based on digitization of depth contours greater than 200 m, and the latter is based on satellite ...
Seasonal Variation of Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall in the Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean
(SpringerLink, 2006)
The diurnal cycle of rainfall over the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean is studied for the period 23rd October 2001 to 31st October 2003 using the hourly data from the Triton buoy positioned at 1.5°S and 90°E. An analysis ...
Link between convection and meridional gradient of sea surface temperature in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
We use daily satellite estimates of sea surface temperature (SST) and rainfall during 1998-2005 to show that onset of convection over the central Bay of Bengal (88-92E, 14-18N) during the core summer monsoon (mid-May to ...
Introduction to Indian Ocean biogeochemical processes and ecological variability: Current understanding and emerging perspectives
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Despite a history of exploration dating back to the classical era and its leading role as a pathway for trade and cultural exchange for the great civilizations of those times, the Indian Ocean has consistently been subject ...
Preface to: Marine micropaleontological studies from the northern Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)
Indian Ocean is unique, being land-locked towards the northern margin, and experiences, highest reported oceanic productivity. It is also the locale for the most severe oxygen depleted waters in the coastal and intermediate ...
