Role of oceanic fronts in enhancing phytoplankton biomass in the eastern Arabian Sea during an oligotrophic period
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
In the present study, using in-situ and satellite observations, we investigate the influence of physical processes on the enhancement of phytoplankton biomass in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Water column measurements ...
Marine Microbial Response to Heavy Metals: Mechanism, Implications and Future Prospect
(Springer, 2020)
Growing levels of pollution in marine environment has been a matter of serious concern in recent years. Increased levels of heavy metals due to improper waste disposal has led to serious repercussions. This has increased ...
Sources and preservation dynamics of organic matter in surface sediments of Narmada River, India - Illustrated by amino acids
(2020)
The preservation process of organic matter (OM) in estuarine environments determines the recycling and sinking of nutrients. This process requires the identification of sources, degradation states and the main processes ...
Trace metal distribution in the sediment cores of mangrove ecosystems along northern Kerala coast, south-west coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Core sediment samples were collected from five mangrove ecosystems along northern Kerala coast (Kunjimangalam: S1, Pazhayangadi: S2, Pappinissery: S3, Thalassery: S4, and Kadalundi: S5) to assess the status of heavy metal ...
Climatology of wave period in the Arabian Sea and its variability during the recent 40 years
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Information on wave period is required for designing marine facilities. Characteristics of peak period (Tp) can reveal swell or wind-sea predominance at a location. Mean wave period (Tm) and Tp from reanalysis data spanning ...
Closing the sea surface mixed layer temperature budget from in situ observations alone: Operation Advection during BoBBLE
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)
Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental driver of tropical weather systems such as monsoon rainfall and tropical cyclones. However, understanding of the factors that control SST variability is lacking, especially ...
Occurrence of Gravity and Infra Gravity Waves in the Nearshore Region at Ratnagiri, West Coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2020)
This study analyses the sea level data measured simultaneously using S4DW and directional Wave Rider Buoy (WRB) off Ratnagiri, eastern Arabian Sea, located along the west coast of the Indian sub-continent. The objective ...
A Mesohaline Thraustochytrid Produces Extremely Halophilic Alpha-Amylases
(Springer, 2020)
Halophilic bacteria are well known to produce highly salt-tolerant enzymes that have unusual applications in biotechnology. Production of halophilic proteins is generally not expected in mesohaline microorganisms. Ulkenia ...
Does the Laxmi Ridge continue towards the Laccadive Ridge? New insights from an integrated geophysical study
(Pergamon, 2020)
The Laxmi and Laccadive ridges are two major aseismic ridges in the NW Indian Ocean. Bathymetry, gravity and magnetic data and their derivatives are analyzed and modelled to assess interrelationship between both the ridges ...
Effect of freshwater advection and winds on the vertical structure of chlorophyll in the northern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2020)
The northern Bay of Bengal receives a large amount of fresh water through river runoff and rainfall during the Indian summer monsoon (June-September). This fresh water spreads offshore and can modulate the upper-ocean ...
