Influence of a tropical cyclone on chlorophyll-a concentration in the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
The effect of a tropical cyclone on the variation of phytoplankton biomass in terms of surface chlorophyll-a is brought out based on satellite observations and mixed layer model simulations in the Arabian Sea during 21 ...
Observed variability of sea surface salinity and thermal inversions in the Lakshadweep Sea during contrast monsoons
(AGU, 2005)
The sea surface salinity (SSS) of the Lakshadweep Sea (LS) shows large seasonal variability due to horizontal advection of low (high) salinity waters from south (north) during winter (summer) monsoon. The measurements made ...
Effect of salinity on larval growth of horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas (Muller)
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
Growth of the trilobite larvae of Tachypleus gigas was studied at salinity ranging from 10 to 40 ppt. In terms of body weight, the growth was higher (232 plus or minus 7.5 mg/week) (P < 0.05) at 40 ppt salinity, and the ...
Influence of bathymetry in manganese nodule pilot mine site selection: A case study from the Central Indian Basin
(Int. Soc. of Offshore and Polar-Eng.(ISOPE), Colorado, USA, 1995)
Although manganese nodules are observed in all world oceans, known reserves cannot be only criterion in future mine sites selection and sizing. Detailed and accurate depth data is another major prerequisite. With the advent ...
Closing the sea surface mixed layer temperature budget from in situ observations alone: Operation Advection during BoBBLE
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)
Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental driver of tropical weather systems such as monsoon rainfall and tropical cyclones. However, understanding of the factors that control SST variability is lacking, especially ...
Seasonal variability in biological carbon biomass standing stocks and production in the surface layers of the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
As a part of the Bay of Bengal Process Study, several biological characteristics were investigated during summer monsoon (SuM; July-August 2001), fall inter monsoon (FIM, September-August 2002), spring inter monsoon (SpIM; ...
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 ...
Logging-while-drilling and wireline velocities: Site NGHP-01-10, Krishna-Godavari Basin, India
(Elsevier, 2014)
At Site NGHP-01-10, Krishna-Godavari Basin, India, the downhole wireline logging tool measured higher porosity and sonic velocities in gas hydrate-bearing sediments compared to the logging-while-drilling (LWD) acquired ...
Investigation of a method for predicting AUV derivatives
(Elsevier, 2008)
The paper addresses the problem of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) modelling and parameter estimation as a means to predict the dynamic performance of underwater vehicles and thus provide solid guidelines during their ...
Comparison of wind data from QuikSCAT and buoys in the Indian Ocean
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)
The performance of QuikSCAT-derived wind vectors is evaluated using in-situ data from moored buoys over the Indian Ocean. The results show that the mean differences for wind speed and wind direction are 0.37 ms sup(-1) and ...
