Role of eddies on organic matter production and f-ratios in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2019)
In order to examine the sources of nutrients and f-ratios in the cyclonic (CE) and anticyclonic eddy (ACE), the content and isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen in suspended particulate organic matter (POM) were ...
Spatial and temporal variability in concentration and characteristics of aerosols at Visakhapatnam (east) and Goa (west) coasts of India
(2020)
Knowledge on the variability in quantity and compositions of various size groups of aerosols is important to understand their sources and their role in biogeochemical and climate processes. Here, we studied total suspended ...
Elevated acidification rates due to deposition of atmospheric pollutants in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(AGU Wiley, 2021)
Human inputs of pollutants to the atmosphere and subsequent deposition may decrease pH in the coastal waters. Significant rate of decrease in pH and increase in pCO2 by 3-5 times is noticed in the coastal Bay of Bengal ...
Phosphate removal through adsorption on suspended matter in the Bay of Bengal: Possible implications to primary production
(Springer, 2021)
Low primary production in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) could not be explained as this region receives nutrients from atmospheric deposition, rivers, eddies, and mixing due to depression/cyclones. In addition to nutrients, BoB ...
Acidification of the coastal Bay of Bengal by aerosols deposition
(Springer, 2021)
Polluted aerosol transport from South Asia containing oxides of nitrogen and sulphur and their deposition on surface may acidify coastal waters. To test this hypothesis, we have conducted experiments involving (a) variability ...
Decadal variations in natural and anthropogenic aerosol optical depth over the Bay of Bengal: the influence of pollutants from Indo - Gangetic Plain
(Springer, 2021)
Perennial increase in atmospheric pollution over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and South China Sea is reported due to increase in human population and industrial activity in South and Southeast Asia. Based on total aerosol optical ...
Role of eddies on intensity of oxygen minimum zone in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2018)
One of the strongest oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) in the world oceans occurs in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) with no systematic trends in dissolved oxygen (DO) since past half a century. An evaluation is made here to examine the ...
Organic Nutrients Support High Primary Production in the Bay of Bengal
(2019)
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is known to experience low productivity but high sinking carbon fluxes to the bottom, and this paradox is attributed to mineral ballast of organic matter. We found for the first time that primary ...
Influence of atmospheric dry deposition of inorganic nutrients on phytoplankton biomass in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)
The aerosols from continents contain relatively higher amounts of inorganic nutrients than those of marine origin and can make a notable contribution to the coastal biological productivity. To test this hypothesis, the ...
Impact of eddies on dissolved inorganic carbon components in the Bay of Bengal
(2019)
To examine the influence of anticyclonic (ACE) and cyclonic (CE) eddies on variations in hydrographic properties and total inorganic carbon system (CT), a study was conducted in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB). The depth ...
