Morphological characteristics of bioaerosols from contrasting locations in southern tropical India - A case study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Bioaerosols, which are ubiquitous in the earth`s atmosphere, are poorly characterized in terms of their physical and chemical properties Improved knowledge of their physical and chemical properties is essential to have a ...
Mesoscale process-induced variation of the West India coastal current during the winter monsoon
(Springer, 2015)
This manuscript presents the analysis of current meter records at Kollam and Kannur along the 20-m isobaths during November-December 2005 Currents in the coastal waters are strongly influenced by winds (both local and ...
Status and review of health of Indian coral reefs
(Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries University of Kerala, 2015)
Status of reef health incorporating species-wise cover of scleractinians has been reported covering 61 stations in 29 reef locations of the four major reef regions in India as of March 2011, alongside a review of available ...
Ecological indications of copepods to oxygen-deficient near-shore waters
(Elsevier, 2018)
Dissolved oxygen deficiency and its impacts on marine organisms is an important research topic world over. In this study, we utilized the advantage of a shallow seasonal hypoxic zone occurring along the Southwest Coast of ...
River plume fronts and their implications for the biological production of the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean
(Inter-Research Science Center, Oldendorf/Luhe, Germany, 2018)
Fronts are the physical interface between water masses of distinct hydrographic characteristics and are ubiquitous features of the Bay of Bengal (BoB). They form as a result of receiving high freshwater runoff from many ...
Modulation of equatorial Pacific westerly/easterly wind events by the Madden-Julian oscillation and convectively-coupled Rossby waves
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)
Synoptic wind events in the equatorial Pacific strongly influence the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) evolution. This paper characterizes the spatio-temporal distribution of Easterly (EWEs) and Westerly Wind Events ...
Seasonal variations in the water quality of six tropical micro and meso-tidal estuaries, central west coast of India
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2018)
Seasonal nutrient dynamics were investigated in four rivers with a microtidal range (Terekhol, Chapora, Sal and Talpona rivers) and were compared with those of two rivers with a mesotidal range (Zuari and Mandovi rivers) ...
Survival in the dark: strategies adopted by Tetraselmis indica (Chlorodendrophyceae, Chlorophyta)
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
The adaptive strategy of Tetraselmis indica to survive darkness was evaluated over a period of 182 days. Resting cells formation and reduction in catabolic activity facilitated dark survival and their rejuvenation. The ...
Longshore sediment transport in the surf zone based on different formulae: A case study along the central west coast of India
(Springer, 2017)
Understanding longshore sediment transport (LST) is a prerequisite for designing an effective coastal zone management strategy. The present study estimates the LST along the central west coast of India based on four bulk ...
Impact of maintenance dredging on macrobenthic community structure of a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2017)
This paper demonstrates the impact of maintenance dredging activities on the macrobenthic community structure of a tropical monsoonal estuary (Cochin estuary), located in the southwest coast of India for three consecutive ...
