Distribution of organic carbon in sediments from the Arabian Sea

Paropkari, A.L.; Mascarenhas, A.; PrakashBabu, C. (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. ...

Increased particle flux to the deep ocean related to monsoons

Nair, R.R.; Ittekkot, V.; Manganini, S.J.; Ramaswamy, V.; Haake, B.; Degens, E.T.; Desai, B.N.; Honjo, S. (Nature Publishing Group, 1989)

Monsoons cause seasonal reversals in the surface circulation of the northern Indian Ocean. In the Arabian Sea this results in the upwelling of nutrient-rich water along the coasts, making it one of the highly productive ...

Particulate carbohydrates in the Arabian Sea

Bhosle, N.B.; Wagh, A.B. (Elsevier, 1989)

Particulate carbohydrate (PECHO) was measured for 183 samples collected from 8 depths at 23 stations. The (PCHO) concentrations varied from 22 to 125 mu g.l-1 (x bar = 52.42 plus or minus 19.56 mu g.l-1 at the surface and ...

Sedimentation of particulate material in stratified and nonstratified water columns in the Bombay high area of the Arabian sea

Bhosle, N.B.; Sawant, S.S.; Sankaran, P.D.; Wagh, A.B. (Inter-Research, 1989)

Sedimentation of particulate material at 22, 42 and 62 m was recorded at a station in the Bombay High area of the Arabian Sea from September 1985 to March 1986. Diatom numbers and physical structure, especially thermal ...

Distribution of particulate carbohydrate in the eastern Arabian sea along 15 (degrees) N

Nandakumar, K.; Bhosle, N.B.; Wagh, A.B. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)

The concentration of particulate carbohydrate varied from 38-158 mu g.l-1 and 19-239 mu g.l-1 in shelf and slope waters respectively. At 10 m water column the concentration of particulate carbohydrate increased with the ...

Distribution of particulate organic carbon in the central Arabian Sea

Bhosle, N.B.; Dhople, V.M.; Wagh, A.B. (Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1988)

Particulate organic carbon (POC) of 161 water samples collected from 8 depths (surface to 1000m) at 21 stations was measured. The POC concentrations ranged from 154 to 554 kappa g per litre at the surface and decreased in ...

On the renewal of the denitrifying layer in the Arabian Sea

Somasundar, K.; Naqvi, S.W.A. (Elsevier, 1988)

A one-dimensional (vertical) advection-diffusion model has been applied to the deep layer characterized by a linear potential temperature(theta)-salinity relationship in the Arabian Sea to estimate the velocity of ascending ...

Marine nitrogen cycling- Some recent observations in the northwestern Indian Ocean

Qasim, S.Z.; Naqvi, S.W.A. (Trivandrum: University of Kerala, 1987)

Published estimates of the rate of denitrification in the Arabian Sea have been evaluated and some new data on the nitrogen cycle have been presented Secondary nitrite maxima and nitrate reduction appear to be associated ...

Chemical oceanography of the Arabian Sea: Part vi - Relationship between nutrients and dissolved oxygen in the central basin

DeSousa, S.N.; Singbal, S.Y.S. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)

Inorganic nitrate and phosphate relationships with apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) in the Central Arabian Sea were studied using data collected during 103 cruise of R V Gaveshani (Feb. 1982). The consolidated ratio of ...

Dissolved and Particulate lipids in the Arabian Sea off Bombay coast

Nandakumar, K.; Bhosle, N.B.; Wagh, A.B. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)

Concentrations of dissolved lipid ranged from 20-140 mu g.l-1 in the surface and 30-150 mu g.l in near bottom waters while particulates lipid varied from 6-109 and 29-133 mu g.l-1 respectively in surface and bottom waters. ...
