Denitrification rates of culturable bacteria from a coastal location turning temporally hypoxic
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Nitrate reduction plays a key role in the biogeochemical dynamics and microbial ecology of coastal upwelling systems. Seasonal upwelling in the eastern Arabian Sea entrains nitrate rich waters to the surface, the intense ...
Variations in particulate matter over Indo-Gangetic Plains and Indo-Himalayan Range during four field campaigns in winter monsoon and summer monsoon: Role of pollution pathways
(Elsevier, 2017)
Both in-situ and space-borne observations reveal an extremely high loading of particulates over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), all year around. With a burgeoning population and combustion sources (fossil fuels (FFs) and ...
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of PM10 over Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), adjoining regions and Indo-Himalayan Range (IHR) during a winter 2014 campaign
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)
For source identification, a field campaign involving simultaneous sampling of particulate matter (PM10) was conducted at eight sampling sites in the Indian mainland during winter 2014. The sampling sites include Delhi ...
Phytoplankton response to the contrasting physical regimes in the eastern Arabian Sea during north east monsoon
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phytoplankton abundance and composition in two contrasting physical regimes - convective mixing in the northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) and Arabian Sea mini warm pool (ASMWP) in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) - were ...
Study on Ambient Air Quality of Megacity Delhi, India During Odd-Even Strategy
(Springer India, 2017)
State Government of Delhi had adopted odd-even scheme on vehicles plying in megacity Delhi to understand and improve the air quality of Delhi. To understand the effect of odd-even scheme on the concentration of pollutants, ...
pH variability off Goa (eastern Arabian Sea) and the response of sea urchin to ocean acidification scenarios
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020)
The increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration in the last few decades has resulted in a decrease in oceanic pH. In this study, we assessed the natural variability of pH in coastal waters off Goa, eastern Arabian Sea. pHT ...
Geochemistry of sediments in contact with oxygen minimum zone of the eastern Arabian Sea: Proxy for palaeo-studies
(Springer, 2022)
The Arabian Sea encompasses oxygen minimum zone with denitrifying conditions. For the present study, sediments were collected across three transects off Goa transect (GT), Mangalore transect (MT) and Kochi transect (KT) ...
Variation of biogenic sulphur compounds in the estuarine and coastal waters of Goa, West coast of India
(NIScPR-CSIR, India, 2022)
Dimethylsulphide (DMS) originates predominantly from dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP), a metabolite produced by phytoplankton.Through its contribution to the production of new aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei, a ...
Observational insights into chlorophyll distributions of subtropical South Indian Ocean eddies
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017)
The South Indian Ocean subtropical gyre has been described as a unique environment where anticyclonic ocean eddies highlight enhanced surface chlorophyll in winter. The processes responsible for this chlorophyll increase ...
Autonomous profiling float observations reveal the dynamics of deep biomass distributions in the denitrifying oxygen minimum zone of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Data from 13 autonomous profiling BGC-Argo floats, equipped with biogeochemical and bio-optical sensors deployed between 2011 and 2016, were used to explore the potential of bio-optical methods to map deep biomass distribution ...
