Influence of net ecosystem metabolism in transferring riverine organic carbon to atmospheric CO2 in a tropical coastal lagoon (Chilka Lake, India)
(Springer, 2008)
Studies on biogeochemical cycling of carbon in the Chilka Lake, Asia’s largest brackish lagoon on the east coast of India, revealed, for the first time, strong seasonal and spatial variability associated with salinity ...
Net community production in the northern Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
The monthly/seasonal variability in net community production (NCP) is controlled by the monsoon either through increasing nutrients to the euphotic zone or an increase in river runoff in the northern Indian Ocean. Net ...
Physical control of primary productivity on a seasonal scale in central and eastern Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)
Using in situ data collected during 1992-1997, under the Indian programme of Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), it is shown that the biological productivity of the Arabian Sea is tightly coupled to the physical forcing ...
Impact of sinking carbon flux on accumulation of deep-ocean carbon in the Northern Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2007)
The export of carbon through the biological pump from the surface to the deep ocean has a direct influence on the removal of CO sub(2) from the atmosphere. This is because the carbon is sequestered for only a few days to ...
Seasonal controls on surface pCO2 in the central and eastern Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)
The variability in partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and its control by biological and physical processes in the mixed layer (ML) of the central and eastern Arabian Sea during inter-monsoon, northeast monsoon, and ...
Export fluxes of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and its break down gases at the air-sea interface
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
Dimethylsulfide (DMS) results from the decomposition of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a biogenic product, in seawater. Diffusive transfer of DMS from sea-to-air is known to be the most important source of natural ...
Emission of carbon dioxide from a tropical estuarine system, Goa, India
(American Geophysical Union, 2001)
Carbon dioxide species were studied in Mandovi-Zuari system, a tropical estuarine complex influenced by strong monsoonal run-off, with implications to build up and air-water exchange of CO sub(2) . Total carbon dioxide ...
An evaluation of physical and biogeochemical processes regulating perennial suboxic conditions in the water column of the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
Monthly oxygen budgets for the subsurface Arabian Sea (100-1000 m) are constructed on the basis of Modular Ocean Model and recently collected oxygen data. The model results are in agreement with the observed pattern. The ...
High biological productivity in the central Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon driven by Ekman pumping and lateral advection
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)
Open oceans are generally oligotrophic and support less biological production. Results from the central Arabian Sea show that it may be an exception to this. We provide the observational evidence of fairly high biological ...
An evaluation of physical and biogeochemical processes regulating the oxygen minimum zone in the water column of the Bay of Bengal
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
Monthly oxygen budgets for the intermediate waters (100-1000 m) of the Bay of Bengal were constructed based on Modular Ocean Model (MOM) and oxygen data. The model results reveal that the oxygen levels in the oxygen minimum ...
