Hydrography and biogeochemistry of the coastal ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
The coastal ocean accounts for only 7% of the total oceanic area, but it plays a very important role in biogeochemical cycles. It not only exchanges energy and matter with the open ocean, but terrestrial inputs of materials ...
The next generation of iron fertilization experiments in the southern Ocean
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)
Of the various macro-engineering schemes proposed to mitigate global warming, ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is one that could be started at short notice on relevant scales. It is based on the reasoning that adding trace ...
Possible solar control on primary production along the Indian west coast on decadal to centennial timescale
(John Wiley, 2009)
Using multiple geochemical proxies including specific biomarkers (dinosterol, phytol, stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol) measured in a high-sedimentation rate core collected from the inner shelf (depth approx. 45 m) off Goa ...
Impact of tropical cyclone on biogeochemistry of the central Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
Remotely sensed data are combined with shipboard measurements to investigate biogeochemical changes caused by a moderate tropical cyclone in the central Arabian Sea in December 1998. The sea surface temperature decreased ...
Denitrifying bacterial community composition changes associated with stages of denitrification in oxygen minimum zones
(Springer, 2009)
Denitrification in the ocean is a major sink for fixed nitrogen in the global N budget, but the process is geographically restricted to a few oceanic regions, including three oceanic oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) and hemipelagic ...
Nitrogen cycling in the suboxic waters of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2006)
Arabian Sea contains one of the world's three large oxygen deficient zones (ODZ). Within the ODZ oxygen concentration is vanishingly small between about 200 and 800 m depth and in this depth interval denitrifications is ...
Seasonal oxygen deficiency over the western continental shelf of India
(Springer, 2006)
The North Indian Ocean contains about two-third of the global continental-margin area affected by natural oxygen deficiency (O2 less than 0.2 mL L sup(-1)) in the water column. Also, the littoral countries of this ...
Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in the North Indian Ocean
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1995)
The understanding of biogeochemical cycling of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in the oceans is essential for predicting the fate of anthropogenically emitted components. The North Indian Ocean, with its diverse regimes, ...
The Arabian Sea
(Blackwell, 2003)
The Arabian Sea makes contributions to global biogeochemical cycles that are far in excess of what might be expected from its modest size. It experiences extremes in atmospheric forcing, asymmetrically distributed over the ...
