Zooplankton characteristics of the coastal ecosystem off Bombay, India
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)
The nearshore waters of Bombay sustain a rich and diverse zooplankton fauna. Continuous observations for a period of 15 months indicated a variation from 0.4 to 19.9 mg C.m sup(3) (av. 4.3 mg C.m sup(-3)) in zooplankton ...
Enhanced export of carbon by salps during the northeast monsoon period in the northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2005)
A drifting sediment trap was deployed and sup(234)Th activity in the water column was measured to calculate export flux of carbon at a time-series station in the northern Arabian Sea (lat. 21 degrees 30 minutes N; long. ...
Radiolarian fluxes from the southern Bay of Bengal: sediment trap results
(Pergamon, 2002)
A study of radiolarian fluxes collected during 1991-93 from time-series sediment traps deployed at 1071 and 3010 m water depth in the southern Bay of Bengal (SBBT) yielded 40 species/groups of radiolarians. Among the order ...
Variation in the Indian summer monsoon intensity during the Bolling-Allerod and Holocene
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
Variations in the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) intensity during the last 16.7 ka have been studied using organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>), delta <sup>15</sup>N of sedimentary organic matter, CaCO<sub>3</sub>, sediment ...
Spatiotemporal distribution in phytoplankton community with distinct salinity regimes along the Mandovi estuary, Goa, India.
(Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2014)
Seasonal variations in the composition and abundance of phytoplankton were investigated fortnightly at 3 different regions along the Mandovi estuary from June 2007 to May 2008 in relation to salinity and nutrients. A total ...
Seasonal sea surface temperature contrast between the Holocene and last glacial period in the western Arabian Sea (Ocean Drilling Project Site 723A): Modulated by monsoon upwelling
(AGU, 2005)
Annual, summer, and winter sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the western Arabian Sea were reconstructed through the last 22 kyr using artificial neural networks (ANNs) based on quantitative analyses of planktic foraminifera. ...
An investigation into the conditions leading to monsoon onset over Kerala
(Springer, 2009)
Monsoon onset over the Kerala (MOK) coast has been studied using the recently released high resolution Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite data (HOAPS 3). Columnar water vapour content, sea surface ...
Summer monsoon rainfall prediction for India - Some new ideas
(Narosa Publishing, 2005)
Present methods of forecasting of mean Indian rainfall for summer monsoon season are critically examined. Considering the wide variations in mean seasonal rainfalls (more than 5 to less than 400 cm) and crops in various ...
Air-sea interaction over the Indian Ocean during the two contrasting monsoon years 1987 and 1988 studied with satellite data
(Springer, 1998)
The air-sea interaction processes over the tropical Indian Ocean region are studied using sea surface temperature data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer sensor onboard the NOAA series of satellites. The ...
Impact of 1990-'95 ENSO/WEPO event on Indian monsoon rainfall
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)
The negative phase of the 1990-'95 El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the associated Warming of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean (WEPO) was the longest observed in the 113 years of its recorded history, compared to its ...
