Long-term changes in Nutrient Concentration and Fluxes from the Godavari Estuary: Role of River Discharge and Fertilizer Inputs
(Springer, 2023)
The discharge from the Indian peninsular rivers is strongly controlled by the intensity of monsoonal rainfall, which is strongly influenced by atmospheric extreme events, such as El Niño, La Niña, and Indian Ocean Dipole ...
Impact of ocean warming on net primary production in the northern Indian Ocean: role of aerosols and freshening of surface ocean
(Springer, 2023)
Warming due to climate change stratifies the upper ocean and reduces nutrient input to the photic zone resulting in a decline in net primary production (NPP). On the other hand, climate change increases both anthropogenic ...
Role of salinity on zooplankton assemblages in the tropical Indian estuaries during post monsoon
(Elsevier, 2023)
The estuary is the transition zone between the riverine and marine environments, in which the zooplankton act as a trophic connector in the energy transfers from primary producers to secondary consumers. Zooplankton biovolume ...
Assessing seasonal nitrogen transformations in the Godavari estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2023)
Indian estuaries are hypothesized to export a significant amount of nitrogen nutrients to the coastal waters due to the high use of fertilizers. To examine the possible sources of nitrogen nutrients and their modifications ...
Role of inter-annual variability in the magnitude of river discharge on CO2 fluxes in the Godavari tidal river zone, India
(Elsevier, 2023)
Variations in the magnitude of river discharge may alter pH, pCO2 of surface water, and flux of CO2 to the atmosphere in the Tidal River Zone (TRZ). To test this hypothesis, a nearly decade-long time-series data of salinity, ...
Coupling between chromophoric dissolved organic matter and dissolved inorganic carbon in Indian estuaries
(Elsevier, 2023)
This study investigates the coupling between Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) in eighteen Indian estuaries across salinity gradient of the east and west coasts during the ...
Spatial variability in plankton metabolic balance in the tropical Indian Ocean during spring intermonsoon
(Elsevier, 2023)
The tropical Indian Ocean consists of three basins, namely the Arabian Sea (AS), Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Southern Indian Ocean (SIO), with relatively nutrient-rich waters in the former two basins. It is hypothesized that ...
The Bay of Bengal exposes abundant photosynthetic picoplankton and newfound diversity along salinity-driven gradients
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a 2,600,000 km2 expanse in the Indian Ocean upon which many humans rely. However, the primary producers underpinning food chains here remain poorly characterized. We examined phytoplankton abundance ...
Air-Sea Fluxes of CO2 in the Indian Ocean Between 1985 and 2018: A Synthesis Based on Observation-Based Surface CO2, Hindcast and Atmospheric Inversion Models
(Wiley-AGU, 2023)
The Indian Ocean significantly influences the global carbon cycle but it is one of the undersampled regions with reference to surface ocean pCO2. As a part of the Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes-2 (RECCAP2) ...
Coastal vegetation and estuaries are collectively a greenhouse gas sink
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Coastal ecosystems release or absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), but the net effects of these ecosystems on the radiative balance remain unknown. We compiled a dataset of observations from ...
