CSIR - National Institute of Oceanography
(Indian National Science Academy, 2016)This is an institutional report of CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, India showcasing its growth over last 50 years in Oceanographic research with special focus on Indian Ocean areas. The major research areas include ... -
Biodiversity and biogeography pattern of benthic communities in the coastal basins of India
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Our understanding of coastal biogeography patterns is presently limited to certain regions and marine groups. Comprehending large-scale patterns and their underlying predictors is critical due to the changing environmental ... -
Relict olivines in micrometeorites: Precursors and interactions in the earth`s atmosphere
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)Antarctica micrometeorites (~1200) and cosmic spherules (~5000) from deep sea sediments are studied using electron microscopy to identify Mg-rich olivine grains in order to determine the nature of the particle precursors. ... -
Middle cretaceous geomagnetic field anomalies in the eastern Indian Ocean and their implication to the tectonic evolution of the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)The Middle Cretaceous period is largely known for its stable normal polarity in the Earth's magnetic field. A few reversals (ISEA, M-3r; M-2r and M-1r) have been postulated during this period but are yet to be accepted in ... -
Pink-line syndrome
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2016)Pink-line syndrome (PLS) was first observed in 1996 affecting the scleractinian coral Porites lutea at Kavaratti of the Lakshadweep islands in the Arabian Sea. The ability of the two fungi isolates and P. valderianum to ... -
Influence of Indian summer monsoon variability on the surface waves in the coastal regions of eastern Arabian Sea
(Copernicus, 2016)We assess the influence of monsoon variability on the surface waves using measured wave data covering 7 years and reanalysis data from 1979 to 2015 during the Indian summer monsoon (JJAS) in the eastern Arabian Sea. The ... -
An insight into subterranean flow proposition around Alleppey mudbank coastal sector, Kerala, India: Inferences from the subsurface profiles of ground penetrating radar
(Springer, 2016)The mudbank formation along south-western Indian coast has been a scintillating phenomenon during monsoon season, and the source of mud is a debatable issue till now. In the midst of many hypotheses, the subterranean passage ... -
Relationship between summer monsoon rainfall and cyclogenesis over Bay of Bengal during post-monsoon (October-December) season
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016)In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the relationship between summer monsoon rainfall (June-September) and the total number of depressions, cyclones and severe cyclones (TNDC) over Bay of Bengal during the ... -
Surface layer temperature inversion in the Bay of Bengal: Main characteristics and related mechanisms
(American Geophysical Union, 2016)Surface layer temperature inversion (SLTI), a warm layer sandwiched between surface and subsurface colder waters, has been reported to frequently occur in conjunction with barrier layers in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), with ... -
Consequences of inhibition of mixed-layer deepening by the West India coastal current for winter phytoplankton bloom in the northeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2016)The intense winter phytoplankton bloom during November-February in the northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) was thought, until recently, to be controlled only by a convective deepening of the mixed layer (ML) owing to cool and ... -
Major mechanisms of atmospheric moisture transport and their role in extreme precipitation events
(Annual Reviews, 2016)We review the major conceptual models of atmospheric moisture transport, which describe the link between evaporation from the ocean and precipitation over the continents. We begin by summarizing some of the basic aspects ... -
Temperature and depth error in the mechanical bathythermograph data from the Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, 2016)For arriving at realistic estimates of warming rate of oceans at regional and global level, it is important to understand persistent biases in observations of ocean temperature. In the present study, collocated MBT and CTD ... -
A new distributional record of alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) along Goa, central west coast of India
(NISCAIR, 2016)Present study is based on a single male specimen of alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) collected from the bay-estuarine system of, Goa (central west coast of India) which is the new distributional ... -
Can we predict the frequency of cyclones over Bay of Bengal during October-December?
(India Meteorological Department, 2016)Forecasting cyclone activity in Australian (Nicholls, 1984; 1992) and southern Pacific (Revell and Goulter, 1986) regions with SO (Southern Oscillation) and the influence of El-Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on Bay of ... -
Variability in concentrations and fluxes of methane in the Indian estuaries
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2016)In order to examine the fluxes of methane (CH4) from the Indian estuaries, measurements were carried out by collecting samples from 26 estuaries along the Indian coast during high discharge (wet) and low water discharge ... -
Role of teak and other hardwoods in shipbuilding as evidenced from literature and shipwrecks
(Current Science Association, 2016)One of the greatest achievements of man is the invention of watercraft which has been used from the prehistoric period onwards. Over the centuries, varieties of watercraft were designed and developed. Timber was the main ... -
Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to compare coral bank and seafloor seepage area-related characterization along the central Western continental margin of India
(IEEE, 2016)In this letter, the characterization of two coral banks is initiated employing the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) for multibeam bathymetry and associated backscatter data. The seafloor roughness was ... -
Is sea-level rising?
(Ocean Society of India, 2016)There has been considerable research on sea-level-rise caused by global warming. The various reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made assessments of observed sea level rise and future projections. ... -
