RAMA: The Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (including supplement)
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)
The Indian Ocean is unique among the three tropical ocean basins in that it is blocked at 25 degrees N by the Asian landmass. Seasonal heating and cooling of the land sets the stage for dramatic monsoon wind reversals, ...
Eddy-mediated biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal during fall and spring intermonsoons
(Elsevier, 2007)
The signature of cold-core eddies and their role in altering the biological productivity of the Bay of Bengal was examined using two recent sets of hydrographic data collected along the central and western Bay of Bengal ...
Bacterial growth efficiency in the tropical estuarine and coastal waters of Goa, southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2003)
Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is an index of organic carbon passing through bacteria in an aquatic system. BGE values of natural bacterioplankton assemblages were measured in tropical estuarine and adjacent coastal ...
Thraustochytrid protists degrade hydrocarbons
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2001)
Although thraustochytrid protists are known to be of widespread occurrence in the sea, their hydrocarbon-degrading abilities have never been investigated. We isolated thraustochytrids from coastal waters and sediments of ...
Annual and seasonal mean buoyancy fluxes for the tropical Indian Ocean
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, 1997)
INSAT-derived monthly mean precipitation, combined with estimates of evaporation from COADS, are used to prepare the annual mean and seasonal distributions of evaporation-precipitation (E-P)) and buoyancy fluxes for the ...
BOBMEX: The Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)
The first observational experiment under the Indian Climate Research Programme, called the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX), was carried out during July-August 1999. BOBMEX was aimed at measurements of important ...
Nitrogen transformations as inferred from the activities of key enzymes in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Elsevier, 2006)
Vertical distributions of the potential activities of some key enzymes mediating nitrification and denitrification were investigated within the oxygen (O2) minimum zone of the Arabian Sea at a number of locations between ...
Studies on methanogenic consortia associated with mangrove sediments of Ennore.
(Triveni Enterprise, 2014)
In this study, methanogenic consortia were isolated and characterized from eight different sediment samples of mangrove ecosystem located in Ennore, Chennai. Out of eight samples, two consortia (SpR6 and SSS8) were consistent ...
Retrieval of chlorphyll from the sea-leaving radiance in the Arbaian Sea
(The Indian Society of Remote Sensing, 2001)
Error estimates in chlorophyll retrieval in the sea from satellite data have always been higher compared to the errors in retrieval of sea surface temperature or wind speed from satellite data. This is due to the higher ...
