Distribution of organic carbon in sediments from the Arabian Sea
(1991)
Many earlier studies on the distribution of organic carbon in the Arabian Sea, sediments have projected contradictory opinions on the factors favouring accumulation and preservation of organic carbon in the Arabian Sea. ...
Wind-wave measurements and modelling in the shallow semi-enclosed Palk Bay
(2019)
Wind-wave characteristics of the Palk Bay, a semi-enclosed water body, are studied by the wave measurements carried out at 2 locations during a one-year period. The analysis of wave data sets shows that wind-sea dominates ...
Climate fluctuations of tropical coupled systems — The role of ocean dynamics
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)
The tropical oceans have long been recognized as the most important region for large-scale ocean-atmosphere interactions, giving rise to coupled climate variations on several time scales. During the TOGA decade, the focus ...
Relationship of sediment-biochemistry, bacterial morphology, and activity to geotechnical properties in the central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Distribution of biochemical properties, morphological and functional characteristics of bacteria in the extreme sedimentary environment of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) was examined in relation to geotechnical properties ...
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in commercially important marine fishes from Mumbai Harbor, India.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Seventeen commercially important marine fish species were caught in Mumbai Harbor using a trawl net and evaluated using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and ICP-OES. It was found that certain species of fish contained lower ...
Life cycle of eddies along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal and their implications
(Elsevier, 2012)
Analysis of vertical thermohaline structure along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal revealed many undulations during April–May 2003. A prominent feature noticed was a dome in the northwestern boundary of the Bay ...
Quantitative characteristics of the Indian Ocean seafloor relief using fractal dimension
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)
In this paper spectral technique has been applied for seafioor topographic data analyses from three seafioor provinces of the Indian Ocean. Study sites include West of the Andaman Island (WAT), Western Continental Margins ...
Observational Evidence of Summer Shamal Swells along the West Coast of India
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)
Wave data collected off Ratnagiri, West coast of India, in 2010 and 2011 are used to examine the presence of the summer shamal swells. This study also aims to understand variations in wave characteristics and associated ...
An interactive software package for validating satellite data
(Universidad de Concepcion, 2004)
Earth observation satellite launched in the last three decades have made vital contributions to the understanding of the planet. The earth system consisting of land, oceans and atmosphere is linked together by a number of ...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and alkaline phosphatase activity in coastal waters off Trivandrum
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphorus is a key nutrient in marine environment. Phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB) have the ability to solubilise ionic forms of orthophosphoric acid to free form of phosphrous in the water column. Both PSB and ...
