Mean wave direction and wave height in the ERA5 reanalysis dataset: Comparison with measured data in the coastal waters of India
(Elsevier, 2024)
Information on wave direction and height is an important input to the coastal engineers. The availability of measured data at every location in the ocean makes maritime operations smoother. However, the practical impossibility ...
Global oceanic diazotroph database version 2 and elevated estimate of global oceanic N2 fixation
(Copernicus Publications, 2023)
Marine diazotrophs convert dinitrogen (N2) gas into bioavailable nitrogen (N), supporting life in the global ocean. In 2012, the first version of the global oceanic diazotroph database (version 1) was published. Here, we ...
Evidence of deep subsurface carbon-sulfur geochemistry in a sediment core from the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2024)
Deep biospheric anaerobic microbial sulfate reduction and oxidative sulfur cycling have been studied in long sediment cores mainly acquired as part of IODP explorations. The most remarkable observation in many of these ...
Role of phytoplankton composition on exudation of dissolved organic carbon in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2024)
Phytoplankton in the marine environment exudates part of the primary production as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) into the surrounding waters. The rate of exudation of DOC is depended on the hydrographic condition, nutrient ...
Effect of coastal hypoxia on bacterial diversity as elucidated through 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing
(Frontiers Media SA, 2024)
The formation of oxygen-depleted zones in the bottom waters is one of the most widespread phenomena in coastal areas. Upwelling episodes along India�s west coast due to the southwest monsoon increase biological productivity, ...
Effect of habitat attributes on the abundance of Sargassum�s epifauna and the feeding habit of an amphipod epifauna from the coast of Western India
(CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research, CSIR-NISCPR, 2023)
The Sargassum bed along the rocky intertidal region is highly productive and serves as a habitat for numerous associated species. In this study, the effect of habitat attributes (algal morphology) on the abundance and ...
Directional characteristics of waves in the nearshore waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)
Directional characteristics of the waves at a coastal location in the eastern Arabian Sea are studied based on the data measured from April 2008 to December 2020. The multiple-scale variations; daily, monthly, intraseasonal, ...
Revisit of ballast hypothesis in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2024)
The ballast hypothesis involving rapid sinking of organic carbon in association with riverine mineral particles is proposed in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) in 1991. The ballast hypothesis was used intensively to explain several ...
Sea-surface pCO2 maps for the Bay of Bengal based on advanced machine learning algorithms
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)
Lack of sufficient observations has been an impediment for understanding the spatial and temporal variability of sea-surface pCO2 for the Bay of Bengal (BoB). The limited number of observations into existing machine learning ...
Understanding heavy metal toxicity: Implications on human health, marine ecosystems and bioremediation strategies
(Elsevier, 2024)
Heavy metals are constituents of the natural environment and are of great importance to both natural and artificial processes. But in recent times the indiscriminate use of heavy metals especially for human purposes has ...
