Application of Remote Sensing Techniques to study the Distribution of Mangroves along the Estuaries of Goa
(International Scientific Publications, 1982)Aerial photographs were used to study the distribution of mangroves in the estuaries of Goa during 1978-79. The total area covered by 7 estuaries in Goa including the major Mandovi - Zuari estuarine complex, is approximately ... -
Are interdecadal sea level changes along the Indian coast influenced by variability of monsoon rainfall?
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)The Mumbai (Bombay) tide gauge data, the only century-long record in the Indian Ocean, show that interdecadal changes in sea level mimic those in rainfall over the Indian subcontinent. We propose that the link between ... -
Dynamics of chromophoric dissolved organic matter in Mandovi and Zuari estuaries — A study through in situ and satellite data
(Elsevier, 2011)The spatial and temporal distribution of absorption of chromophoric dissolved organic matter at 440 nm (a sub (CDOM) (440)) in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries situated along the west coast of India, has been analysed. The ... -
Effect of temperature and salinity on stable isotopic composition of shallow water benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture study
(Bengaluru: Geological Society of India, 2013)Quantitative estimation of past climatic parameters from stable isotopic composition of foraminifera relies on estimating the precise relationship between stable isotopic composition of the species analyzed and the ... -
Environmental drivers of temporal variability in DMS (P) in the surfwater of a tropical intertidal beach
(Discovery Publication, 2014)Tropical estuaries are potential contributors of dimethylsulfide (DMS), a climatically relevant volatile sulfur compound and its precursor dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) In order to understand the distribution of DMS ... -
Environmental study of the waters of Mandovi - Zuari estuarine complex, Goa
(Calcutta: Geological Survey of India, 1985)Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex consists of Mandovi and Zuari estuaries and the interconnecting Cumbarjua canal. This complex form the navigational network for transportation of mainly ferro-manganese from the Marmugao ... -
Experimental studies on high density, short-term farming of shrimp Penaeus indicus in a Pokkali field in Vypeen Island, Kerala
(1982)High density, short-term culture experiments on the shrimp Penaeus indicus were carried out by setting three identical enclaves (25 m2 each) using plastic netting and bamboo stakes in a paddy-cum-prawn filtration field at ... -
Impact of dredging on water quality and group diversity of marine zooplankton during construction and reclaimation activities of new berths at Mormugao Harbour, Goa.
(2005)Pelagic and benthic communities in the near shore marine environment are subject to siltation process arising from natural causes or human activities. These could act as stress factors to the living organisms. Dredging ... -
Introduction to fisheries oceanography
(1991)Fisheries oceanography can be applied to fisheries ecology, fisheries management and practical fishing. Physico-chemical parameters of the environment (temperature, currents, waves, light, oxygen and salinity) have profound ... -
Laboratory and Field studies on an Indian Strain of the Brine Shrimp Artemia
(Belgium: Universa Press, 1980)The Tuticorin strain of the brine shrimp @iArtemia@@ was studied under both laboratory and field conditions. Studies on the survival of the nauplii at different temperatures and salinities revealed that the nauplii preferred ... -
On the sea surface temperature high in the Lakshadweep Sea before the onset of the southwest monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)The north Indian Ocean becomes the warmest area of the world oceans prior to the onset of southwest monsoon in June. During this period a zonal band of high sea surface temperature (SST), the ``thermal equator'' (TE), moves ... -
Osmotic behaviour of shrimps and prawns in relation to their biology and culture
(1968)The prawns which are useful for cultural purposes belong mostly to the decapod families Penaeidae and Palaemonidae. Most penaeids are marine prawns which migrate to estuaries and brackish water in their young stages but ... -
Propagation of sound in oceans
(MSc Dissertation, Wadia College, Pune, India - National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India; 29pp, 2008)The present project work studies the characteristics of the sound speed profiles in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Since the sound speed in the ocean depends on the temperature and salinity, the vertical profiles ... -
Remote forcing annihilates barrier layer in southeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)Time-series measurements of temperature and salinity profiles were made every two hours at 74 deg 30'E, 9 deg 13'N in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during 22 March to 7 April and 23 May to 7 June 2003 as part of ... -

Salt balance and mixing in the Bay of Bengal
(1986)Basic fields of temperature salinity, density and currents in the Bay of Bengal are investigated using data archieved at the National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) Washington, D.C. and the Indian National Oceanographic ... -
Seasonal cycle of sea level and currents along the coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)A framework involving long baroclinic waves, which treats the north Indian Ocean as a single dynamical entity, has been remarkably successful in simulating the low-frequency, large-scale circulation in the ocean. It is, ... -
Seasonal variability of the mixed layer in the central Bay of Bengal and associated changes in nutrients and chlorophyll
(Elsevier, 2006)Hydrographic data from NODC and RNODC were used to study the seasonal variability of the mixed layer in the central Bay of Bengal (8oN to 20oN and 87oE to 91oE), while meteorological data from COADS were used to explore ... -
Simulated seasonal and interannual variability of mixed layer heat budget in the northern Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)A global Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) is used to investigate the mixed layer heat budget of the Northern Indian Ocean (NIO). The model is validated against observations and shows a fairly good agreement with mixed ... -
Some physical characteristics of the Antarctic and western Indian Ocean
(1983)Based on the data collected during the cruises of R V Gaveshani in Jan-Feb. of 1979 and 1980 around the Andaman Islands, 6 transects are selected, along which the present study on some physical properties of the waters ...
