A seasonal analysis of particulate trace metals, viz. iron, manganese, zinc, copper, cobalt and nickel collected from 4 stations in Cochin backwaters are presented. The spatial trend for cobalt, iron and nickel was stationary ...

Mean grain size distribution under different environmental conditions along the coast of Kerala showed considerable spatial variation (0.14-0.96 mm). Standard deviation values indicated a very well sorted class along all ...

Sediment samples collected from dunes, beaches (Calangute, Baina and Colva) and nearshore environments along the coast of Goa, have been analysed for their carbonate content. The results show the presence of very high ...

Extensive measurements of nitrous oxide (N sub(2)O) were made in the central and eastern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon (February-March), intermonsoon (April-May) and southwest monsoon (July-August) seasons. The ...

Monthly maps of sea surface temperature (SST) derived for NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)-AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) data during 1992 for the Bay of Bengal are analysed and ...

Particulate manganese (Mn) fluxes measured with six time series sediment traps showed that the annual settling fluxes were 3-6 times higher in the west compared to those in the east and central Arabian Sea. Annual detrital ...

Ichthyoplankton of the Andaman and NIcobar seas were studied for their spatial, seasonal and day and night variations from 357 zooplankton samples collected during 1986 to 1990. High density of fish larvae was encountered ...

Seasonal and spatial variations in bacterial and picoplankton abundances and bacterial production (thymidine incorporation rates) were determined in the water column up to 150 m in several stations in the central and eastern ...
