Seasonality and vertical distribution of epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of mangrove Avicennia officinalis L.
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)Mangrove pneumatophores (respiratory roots) form a unique habitat about which very little ecological information is available. In this study, epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of Avicennia officinalis (L.) ... -
Responses of the picophytoplankton community to temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Elsevier, 2018)We investigated the responses of the picophytoplankton (< 3-μm) community to a temperature filament and front through high resolution spatial (~ 1 NM) sampling (November-23 to December-11, 2012) in the northeastern Arabian ... -
Developing community-based scientific priorities and new drilling proposals in the southern Indian and southwestern Pacific oceans
(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, Gottingen, Germany, 2018)An International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) workshop was held at Sydney University, Aus-tralia, from 13 to 16 June 2017 and was attended by 97 scientists from 12 countries. The aim of the workshop was to investigate ... -
Biogeochemistry of methane in a tropical monsoonal estuarine system along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2018)Estuaries are known to be important sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. However, a lack of adequate field studies in understanding the sources/sinks of CH4 in estuaries hampers the global atmospheric budgeting. ... -
Estimation of potential tidal energy along the west coast of India
(World Scientific, 2017)Tidal energy is one of the clean and non-depleting renewable energy sources. In contrast to other clean sources, such as wind, solar, geothermal etc., tidal energy can be predicted for years ahead. Also, the medium, seawater, ... -
Significance of metabolically active bacterioplankton in the frontal regions of the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)The Northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) experiences convective mixing during winter monsoon, which facilitates nutrient enrichment in the surface layers. This region is also known to harbour several sea surface temperature ... -
Diversity and distribution of echinoderms in the South Eastern Arabian Sea shelf under the influence of seasonal hypoxia
(Elsevier, 2018)The South Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) margin represents a tropical eastern boundary upwelling system, which is subjected to intense seasonal hypoxia in the continental shelf, and impingement of oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) ... -
An Algorithm to Determine the Slope of the Spectral Absorption of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) and Detritus
(Springer India, 2018)A simple method to determine the slope of spectral variations of combined absorption of the colored dissolved organic matter and detritus (CDM) is presented. This method uses the slope of total absorption spectrum excluding ... -
Diversity and abundance of denitrifying and anammox bacteria from the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Elsevier, 2018)Bacterial community involved in nitrogen transformations in the oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) with dissolved oxygen (DO) levels below 0.5-ml-L-1 is ascribed to be responsible for the reported 40% losses of fixed nitrogen. The ... -
Variations in concentrations and sources of bioavailable organic compounds in the Indian estuaries and their fluxes to coastal waters
(Elsevier, 2018)Estuarine organic matter (EOM) supports heterotrophic carbon demand in the estuaries. However, the fraction of bioavailable organic compounds, which are easily assimilated by biological organisms, in the EOM is unclear. ... -
Spectral Wave Characteristics in the Nearshore Waters of Northwestern Bay of Bengal
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)The spectral wave characteristics in the nearshore waters of northwestern Bay of Bengal are presented based on the buoy-measured data from February 2013 to December 2015 off Gopalpur at 15-m water depth. The mean seasonal ... -
Variations in Denitrification and Ventilation Within the Arabian Sea Oxygen Minimum Zone During the Holocene
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)The continental slope of India is exposed to an intense perennial oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) supporting pelagic denitrification. Sediments that are presently in contact with the lower boundary of the denitrification zone ... -
Response of microzooplankton community to the hydrographical transformations in the coastal waters off Kochi, along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2018)The response of microzooplankton to the hydrographical transformations in the coastal waters off Kochi, along the South-west coast of India, has been presented in this study. Sampling was carried out during January-December ... -
BoBBLE: Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction and Its Impact on the South Asian Monsoon
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)The Bay of Bengal (BoB) plays a fundamental role in controlling the weather systems that make up the South Asian summer monsoon system. In particular, the southern BoB has cooler sea surface temperatures (SST) that influence ... -
Distribution and Diagenesis of Phosphorus in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Basin
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)A regional solid-phase phosphorus (P) speciation study in the Central Indian Basin (CIB) was carried out to elucidate the spatial distribution of sedimentary P species and P diagenesis in an oligotrophic setting. The results ... -
A Subsurface Indian Ocean Dipole Response to Tropical Volcanic Eruptions
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)The impacts of explosive volcanism on the densely populated Indian Ocean (IO) region remain elusive. Dedicated sensitivity experiments indicate that tropical volcanic eruptions induce a stronger surface cooling over Africa ... -
Notes for genera: basal clades of Fungi (including Aphelidiomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Caulochytriomycota, Chytridiomycota, Entomophthoromycota, Glomeromycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomyc
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the basal clades of fungi are poorly known. ... -
East India Coastal Current controls the dissolved inorganic carbon in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2018)Monthly variations in dissolved inorganic components (DIC) were measured in the coastal waters off Visakhapatnam in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB) to examine the controlling factors on their distribution and fluxes to the ... -
