Summer cooling in the east central Arabian Sea - a process of dynamic response to the southwest monsoon
(India Meteorological Department, 1984)
The cooling of the east central Arabian Sea during summer monsoon season is examined using data sets of MONEX '79 and MONSOON '77 programmes. These studies have revealed that downward transfer of heat due to the mixing of ...
Studies on the behaviour of nutrients in the Mandovi estuary during premonsoon
(Elsevier, 1983)
Behaviour of silicate, nitrate and phosphate in the Mandovi Estuary was studied during the premonsoon season. The study shows that silicate is removed from the water column while nitrate showed an internal source. This ...
Oceanography of the northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 1982)
The euphotic zone of the northern Arabian Sea ranges from 20-60 m with an average depth of about 40 m. Surface temperatures range from 22.5 to 28.5 degrees C, increasing from north to south. At 1000 m, the temperature is ...
Observations on marine biofouling on electroplated metallic surfaces in Goa waters
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
The panels of metallic brass electroplated with cadmium as well as nickel-chromium were kept suspended in the near-shore marine environment of Goa, India for biofouling studies. The results for the premonsoon period, which ...
Trace Metal Levels in the Sediments of the Cochin Backwaters
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
Levels of Cu, Mn, Co, Ni and Zn at four stations in the northern arm of the Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India, which runs through an industrial belt is reported. All metals showed some degree of variation over the area ...
Wave Persistence in Central Bay of Bengal during the Southwest Monsoon
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
Wave data collected on board RV @iGaveshani@@ in central Bay of Bengal during Monex-79 are analysed for significant wave height (H@ds@@), average period (T@dc@@), zero-crossing period (T@dz@@) and spectral width parameter ...
Plankton Composition in two Estuaries of the Konkan coast during Premonsoon Season
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Plankton composition of the Shastri and the Kajvi estuaries of the Konkan Coast were studied during the premonsoon season. Phytoplankton constituents were more abundant at the mid and upper reaches in the former whereas ...
Occurrence of Porphyra Vietnamensis (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) along the Goa Coast
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
The occurrence of a red alga, Porphyra vietnamensis has been studied along the Goa Coast (west coast of India). The growth period was observed during the monsoon (July-October) and optimum growth was recorded during August, ...
Studies on beach changes at Visakhapatnam
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Various factors controlling the coastal processes at 7.5 km long Visakhapatnam Beach were investigated in detail. Studies reveal that the depositional and erosional phases differ from place to place along this coast. Major ...
Sediment Budget of a Portion of Trivandrum Beach (Kerala)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Results of beach profile studies carried out on a section of 2.4 kilometres of the Trivandrum Beach during the period April 1976 to March 1977 are presented in this paper. It is evident from these studies that shoreline ...
