A new atlas of temperature and salinity for the North Indian Ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2012)The most used temperature and salinity climatology for the world ocean, including the Indian Ocean, is the World Ocean Atlas (WOA) because of the vast amount of data used in its preparation. The WOA climatology does not, ... -
A new technique for the estimation of sea surface salinity in the tropical Indian Ocean from OLR
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)Algorithms are developed for the estimation of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the tropical Indian Ocean from the space-borne satellite measurements of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). The algorithms are based on the ... -
A note on poleward undercurrent along the southwest coast of India
(Pergamon, 1995)A comparative study of currents and hydrography during th monsoon and non-monsoon periods of 1984, 1985 and 1987 was carried out using data collected on five cruises covering the waters of the west coast of India from 8 ... -
A semi-diagnostic calculation of climatic circulation in the western Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)A 3-dimensional, semi-diagnostic circulation model is used to compute the climatic circulation in the upper levels of western tropical Indian Ocean (20 degrees S-30 degrees N and 35 degrees E-80 degrees E) during the ... -
A sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in the northeast Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)Intensive observations in the northeast Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal) during the pre-southwest and northeast monsoon seasons 1991 reveal that freshwater discharge from rivers of the Indian subcontinent exerts the dominant ... -
Abundance and size variation of Globorotalia menardii in the Northeastern Indian Ocean during the Late Quaternary
(Geological Society of India, 2012)Variation in absolute abundance, size and coiling direction ratio of the planktic foraminifera Globorotalia menardii during the late Quaternary have been studied in three cores, collected along a north-south transect from ... -
Adaptations in Phytoplankton to Changing Conditions in Tropical Estuaries
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)Experimental studies on phytoplankton organisms from Cochin backwaters (a tropical estuary) have shown that many algal forms are adapted to changing conditions of salinity, light and nutrients. Photosynthesis in 12 species ... -
Ambiguities in the classification of cochin estuary, West coast of India
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)Cochin Estuary is a unique complex system along Indian coastline with a widespread area at the upstream. The fluctuations in salinity are of extreme kind ranging from entirely riverine to entirely saline. The high runoff ... -
Antioxidant responses in Mesopodopsis zeylanica at varying salinity to detect mercury influence in culture ponds
(The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2012)Antioxidant responses in the estuarine mysid, Mesopodopsis zeylanica, were used to assess mercury (Hg) metal contamination in relation to salinity. Natural mysids acclimatized at 5 psu were subjected to laboratory exposures ... -
Assessment of water quality of a river-dominated estuary with hydrochemical parameters: A statistical approach.
(Springer, 2014)This study was aimed (1) to evaluate the water quality of Chalakudy river, the fifth longest (145.5 km) river of Kerala (South India), by assessing the general hydrochemical parameters like temperature, dissolved oxygen ... -
Atypical behaviour of dissolved silicate in the Cochin backwater and Periyar river
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)Dissolved silicate was determined for 1 y (1982-83) covering a wide range of salinity from the estuarine mouth to the fresh water region. Silicate concentration ranged between 0.03 and 4.75 mgl/1. Silicate-salinity ... -
Benthic studies in Goa estuaries. I. Standing crop and faunal composition in relation to bottom salinity distribution characteristics in the estuary of Mandovi River
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1974)Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ... -
Benthic Studies in Goa Estuaries. Part 3. Annual Cycle of Macrofaunal Distribution, Production and Trophic Relations
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ... -
Benthic studies in Goa estuaries: Biomass and faunal composition in the Zuari estuary
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1975)Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ... -
Boron, calcium and magnesium in Kavaratti lagoon water, Lakshadweep Archipelago
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)Analysis of major elements in the water of Kavaratti lagoon show variations in the concentrations of boron from 4.08 to 4.25 mg kg sup(-1) (av. 4.15 mg kg sup(-1)); calcium from 420.4 to 429.3 mg kg sup(-1) (av. 424.79 mg ... -
Boron/calcium ratios in Globigerinoides ruber from the Arabian Sea: Implications for controls on boron incorporation
(Elsevier, 2014)Culture and downcore studies have been used to argue that B/Ca ratios in planktic foraminifera are correlated with seawater pH and may record seawater borate/bicarbonate ratios, although other factors may also control B/Ca. ... -
Carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of suspended particulate organic matter in Zuari Estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)The spatio-temporal variations of the δ13C and δ15N of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM), along with ancillary chemical and hydrographic parameters, have been examined monthly for one year (October 2010 to September ... -
