Ocean-atmosphere interactions during cyclone Nargis
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Cyclone Nargis (Figure 1a) made landfall in Myanmar (formerly Burma) on 2 May 2008 with sustained winds of approximately 210 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category 3-4 hurricane. In addition, Nargis brought approximately ...
Studies on the nutrient distribution in the Southern Ocean waters along the 45 degrees E transect
(NISCAIR, India, 2008)
Seawater samples from the surface as well as at different depths of the water column were collected from 30 stations during the Pilot Expedition to Southern Ocean (PESO). The sampling stations were along a transect between ...
Seismotectonics of the Indian subcontinent and the Bengal fan
(2006)
The great Sumatra earthquake of 26th December, 2004 (0629 hrs IST) followed by the unique Indian ocean tsunami have added a new dimension to the natural hazard scenario of the country. Hitherto, the coastal region is ...
Indian Ocean research: Opportunities and challenges
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Historically, the Indian Ocean (IO) has received relatively little attention from the oceanographic community and therefore remains substantially undersampled compared to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This situation is ...
Research opportunities and challenges in the Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
The Indian Ocean is a dynamically complex and highly variable system, with circulation features and biogeochemical properties that are unusual in many respects. Yet the Indian Ocean (IO) remains one of the most under-sampled ...
Changes in the coastal and marine environments
(Capital Publishing Co., 2010)
The environmental setting and possible influence of global environmental change, including that of climate change, have been presented for coastal and marine environments of South Asia. This has been dealt with in seven ...
Platinum group elements and gold in ferromanganese crusts from Afanasiy-Nikitin seamount, equatorial Indian Ocean: Sources and fractionation
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
The major element relationships in ferromanganese (Fe–Mn) crusts from Afanasiy–Nikitin seamount (ANS), eastern equatorial Indian Ocean, appear to be atypical. High positive correlations (r = 0.99) between Mn/Co and Fe/Co ...
On the semi-diagnostic computation of climatological circulation in the western tropical Indian Ocean
(India Meteorological Department, 2000)
The seasonal mean climatological circulation in the Indian Ocean north of 20°S and west of 80°E during the summer and winter has been investigated using a 3-dimensional, fully non-linear, semi-diagnostic circulation model. ...
Past 20,000-year history of Himalayan aridity: Evidence from oxygen isotope records in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)
Late Quaternary climate history of the Himalayas is inferred from sea surface salinity (SSS) changes determined from the oxygen isotope in planktonic foraminifers, in a turbidity-free, 14C-dated core from the Bay of Bengal. ...
Minima of interannual sea-level variability in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2010)
Wavelet analysis of altimeter sea level in the Indian Ocean shows regions of high variability (maxima) and low variability (minima) at all time scales. At interannual time scales, i.e., at periods of 17 months or more, ...
