Foraminiferal assemblages and their use as indicators of sediments movement: a study in the shelf region off Navapur, India
(Elsevier, 1986)
Factor analysis of 60 species of foraminifera from 13 stations off Navapur, reveals three major assemblages - Ammonia annectens, Ammonia papillosus-Asterorotalia dentata and Ammobaculites persicus assemblages. These ...
Spectra and gross features of vertical temperature and salinity profiles off the central west coast of India
(India Meteorological Department, 1985)
Continuous vertical profiles of temperature and salinity recorded by a CTD-system from the continental slope and the continental rise off Goa, west coast of India, were used for delineating the gross statistical features ...
Proloculus size variation in Recent benthic foraminifera: Implications for paleoclimatic studies
(Elsevier, 1987)
Ratios of dimorphic (microspheric/megalospheric) forms of Foraminifera are affected by temperature and hence are useful in paleoclimatic studies. In some cases, however, it is not possible to distinguish between the dimorphic ...
Seasonal variability of the temperature field off the south-west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1984)
The temperature field in the coastal region off south-west India exhibits a well marked annual cycle. Around March the isotherms develop an upward tilt near the coast. The magnitude of the tilt increases continuously till ...
Reproductive behaviour of benthic foraminifera: A key to palaeoclimate
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1988)
Many benthic foraminiferal species exhibit dimorphism associated with reproduction. The two resultant forms are known as microspheric and megalospheric forms. Culture studies, though limited in number, show that ratios of ...
Influence of estuaries on shelf foraminiferal species
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
Dabhol-bhatkal stretch of the west coast of India is marked by a number of estuaries. Cavarotalia annectens is selected to monitor the influence of these estuaries on the inner shelf foraminiferal fauna. The percentage ...
Response of Barrier beaches along the southwest coast of India to monsoonal forcing
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1987)
The response of a small stretch of barrier beach along the southern part of the west coast of India to the southwest wind and wave climates showed wide variations when examined through empirical Eigen function analysis. ...
Studies on the Hydrography and Plankton of waters off Akarpati near Navapur, west coast of India during February-March
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)
Studies on selected physico-chemical parameters and plankton were carried out in waters off Akarpati during February-March 1978 In general, nutrient values increased towards offshore However, along the northern transect a ...
Physical characteristics of the coastal waters between Navapur and Umbharat, West coast of India. Part 1. Current pattern
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
Surface and bottom current patterns of the coastal waters between Navapur and Umbharat (Maharashtra-Gujarat Industrial Belt) are described in relation to tides and other environmental parameters. The results of the analysis ...
Physical characteristics of the coastal waters between Navapur and Umbharat, West coast of India. Part 2. Vertical homogeneity of temperature and salinity
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
Vertical distribution of temperature and salinity at five stations in the coastal waters off Navapur-Umbharat (Maharashtra-Gujarat coast, India) was studied over different seasons during 1978. The results showed that inspite ...
