Verification of model wave heights with long-term moored buoy data: Application to wave field over the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2015)This paper describes the results obtained using a modified version (ModWAM) of the global wave model WAM, in which new parameterizations have been applied based on the seasonal changes and extreme weather events that have ... -
Daily variations in pathogenic bacterial populations in a monsoon influenced tropical environment
(Elsevier, 2015)Changing climatic conditions have influenced the monsoon pattern in recent years. Variations in bacterial population in one such tropical environment were observed everyday over two years and point out intra and inter ... -
Performance of ERA-Interim wave data in the nearshore waters around India
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)Bulk wave parameters, such as wave height and wave period, are required for engineering and environmental applications. In this study, measured wave data from six shallow-water locations in the data-sparse north Indian ... -
Plankton food web and its seasonal dynamics in a large monsoonal estuary (Cochin backwaters, India)-significance of mesohaline region
(Springer, 2015)The paper presents the ecology and dynamics of plankton food web in the Cochin backwaters (CBW), the largest monsoonal estuary along the west coast of India. The data source is a time series measurement carried out in the ... -
Effect of wind turbine on TLP flating platform response
(eSAT Publishing House, Bangalore, India, 2015)Ever increasing population of India demands high production of electrical energy which puts immense pressure on our limited stock of non-renewable sources of energy and makes us dependent over imports from foreign countries. ... -
Use of the Boron partition coefficient ‘K<sub>D</sub>’ and B/Ca from planktonic foraminifera in the estimation of past seawater pCO<sub>2</sub>
(Geochemical Society of Japan, 2015)We assess the usefulness of the empirical boron partition coefficient, K<sub>D</sub> and B/Ca measured from planktonic foraminifera in estimation of pCO<sub>2</sub> using three different relationships between K<sub>D</sub> ... -
Impact of river discharge on distribution of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and its fluxes in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2015)A systematic study was conducted to examine the on variations in DMS and DMSP<sub>t</sub> during peak discharge period along the coastal Bay of Bengal. The southern coastal Bay of Bengal (SCB) received a large quantity of ... -
Quaternary climate modulation of Pb isotopes in the deep Indian Ocean linked to the Himalayan chemical weathering
(Elsevier, 2015)We use reductive sediment leaching to extract lead (Pb) from the authigenic fraction of marine sediments and reconstruct the Pb isotope evolution of the deep central Indian Ocean over the past 250 thousand years at ~3 kyr ... -
Environmental controls on the speciation and distribution of mercury in surface sediments of a tropical estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2015)Distribution and speciation of mercury (Hg) in the sediments from a tropical estuary (Godavari estuary) was influenced by the changing physico-chemical parameters of the overlying water column. The sediments from the ... -
Influence of river discharge on abundance and dissemination of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic bacteria along the east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)In order to examine the influence of discharge from different rivers from peninsular India and urban sewage on intensity and dissemination of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic bacteria, a study was carried out during ... -
Microbial iron reduction and methane oxidation in subsurface sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)Arabian Sea is one of the most productive regions of the world's ocean with seasonal upwelling and a characteristic oxygen minimum zone. It receives a continuous input of windborne iron-rich dust which possibly stimulates ... -
Epiphytic marine pigmented bacteria : A prospective source of natural antioxidants
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia; Brazil, 2015)Awareness on antioxidants and its significance in human healthcare has increased many folds in recent time. Increased demand requisite on welcoming newer and alternative resources for natural antioxidants. Seaweed associated ... -
Bacterial diversity associated with Cinachyra cavernosa and Haliclona pigmentifera, cohabiting sponges in the coral reef ecosystem of Gulf of Mannar, southeast coast of India
(PLOS One, 2015)Sponges are abundant, diverse and functionally important organisms of coral reef ecosystems. Sponge-associated microorganisms have been receiving greater attention because of their significant contribution to sponge biomass, ... -
An overview of maritime archaeological studies in India

Role of marine pollutants in impairment of DNA integrity.
(OMICS Publishing Group, 2015)In this article, we present an overview on the role of marine pollutants in impairment of DNA integrity in marine gastropods exposed to xenobiotics released from various sources into the coastal ecosystem. We provide an ... -
Tidal influence on the diel vertical migration pattern of zooplankton in a tropical monsoonal Estuary
(Springer, 2015)Monsoonal estuaries, located along the coastline of the Indian subcontinent, differ from other estuaries by their time dependence on the salinity characteristics. Effective sustenance and retention of the mesozooplankton ... -
Evolution and sub-surface characteristics of a sea-surface temperature filament and front in the northeastern Arabian Sea during November–December 2012
(Elsevier, 2015)We used satellite-derived sea-surface-temperature (SST) data along with in-situ data collected along a meridional transect between 18.85 and 20.25°N along 69.2°E to describe the evolution of an SST filament and front during ... -
Interactive effect of elevated pCO<sub>2</sub> and temperature on the larval development of an inter-tidal organism, Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Elsevier, 2015)The projected increase in the pCO<sub>2</sub> and temperature level by the end of the 21st century, is expected to influence the life cycle of marine invertebrates. Experiments were carried out with an acorn barnacle, ... -
Ordinary chondritic micrometeorites from the Indian Ocean
(The Meteoritical Society, 2015)Extraterrestrial particulate materials on the Earth can originate in the form of collisional debris from the asteroid belt, cometary material, or as meteoroid ablation spherules. Signatures that link them to their parent ... -
