Measurement and modelling of bed shear induced by solitary waves
(The University of Queensland, 2011)Tsunamis are a geo-hazard that have a high potential to devastate majority of infrastructure in their path. Considering the threat from possible tsunami around the Australian coast, CSIRO Australia, under the Wealth from ... -
Life cycle of eddies along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal and their implications
(Elsevier, 2012)Analysis of vertical thermohaline structure along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal revealed many undulations during April–May 2003. A prominent feature noticed was a dome in the northwestern boundary of the Bay ... -
Assessment of fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments by multiple primer approach
(Springer, 2012)Increasing evidence of the fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments has come from amplification of environmental DNA with fungal specific or eukaryote primer sets. In order to assess the fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments ... -
Evolution of Swarna estuary and its impact on braided islands and estuarine banks, Southwest coast of India
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)Qualitative and quantitative evolution of the Swarna estuary, Karnataka, India during the past 38 years (1967–2005), has been analysed by integrating the results of field surveys, satellite images, hydrodynamic modelling ... -
Sources and sinks of CO2 in the west coast of Bay of Bengal
(International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm, 2012)Observations at high spatial resolution (100 x 50 km sup(2)) in the western continental shelf of Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon, when peak discharge occurs into the Bay through major rivers of the Indian subcontinent, ... -
Enhanced chlorophyll a and primary production in the northern Arabian Sea during the spring intermonsoon due to green Noctiluca scintillans bloom
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)The surface waters of the northeastern Arabian Sea sustained relatively high chlorophyll a (average 0.81+ or -0.80 mg m sup(-3)) and primary production (average 29.5+ or -23.6 mgC m sup(-3)d sup(-1)) during the early spring ... -
Bathymetric techniques and Indian Ocean applications
(InTech, 2012)The acoustic echosounders are the traditional workhorse of bathymetry measurements. The article highlights the differences between single beam and multibeam echosounders, besides indicating how complimentary they are to ... -
Fe speciation and Fe/Al ratio in the sediments of southeastern Arabian Sea as an indicator of climate change
(Elsevier, 2012)Aluminium, titanium and iron are the major lithogeneous contributors to the marine sediment and their abundance varies strikingly with the intensity of monsoonal precipitation. Al and Ti concentrations in a sediment core ... -
Bacterial diversity and their adaptations in the shallow water hydrothermal vent at D. Joao de Castro Seamount (DJCS), Azores, Portugal
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2012)Bacterial diversity investigations were made from the shallow vent of D joao de castro, Azores, Portugal and their adaptations to a nutrient rich environment was investigated from 2004 and 2005 cruise samples. Assesment ... -
Temporal and spatial variability of trace metals in suspended matter of the Mandovi estuary, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2012)Studies on the suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Mandovi estuary, western India indicate that during the monsoon and pre-monsoon, the SPM increases, and the major and trace metals decrease from stations in the ... -
Drift in salinity data from Argo profiling floats in the Sea of Japan
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)In drift analysis of salinity sensors, one major problem is the difficulty in delineating sensor drift from water mass changes. In the present study, a new method is proposed for finding sensor drift that is free from water ... -
Comparison of measured and satellite-derived spectral diffuse attenuation coefficients for the Arabian Sea
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)The results of study comparing the spectral diffuse attenuation coefficients Kd(Lambda) measured in the Arabian Sea with those derived from the Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) using three algorithms, of ... -
Denitrification prevails over anammox in tropical mangrove sediments (Goa, India)
(Elsevier, 2012)Denitrification, anammox (Anx) and di-nitrogen fixation were examined in two mangrove ecosystems- the anthropogenically influenced Divar and the relatively pristine Tuvem. Stratified sampling at 2 cm increments from 0 to ... -
Hydrothermal plumes over the Carlsberg Ridge, Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)Water column surveys and sampling in 2007 and 2009 was conducted to search for hydrothermal plumes over a segment of the Carlsberg Ridge. An evidence for two separate vent fields, one near 3 degrees 42′N, 63 degrees 40′E ... -
A stratification prediction diagram from characteristics of geometry, tides and runoff for estuaries with a prominent channel
(Elsevier, 2012)Accepting the premise that it should be possible to predict stratification within an estuary from the characteristics of its geometry, tide at the mouth and runoff, we use data from 14 estuaries with a prominent channel ... -
A study of lead and cadmium speciation in some estuarine and coastal sediments
(Elsevier, 2012)Chemical speciation of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in the coastal and estuarine sediments along the central east coast of India was studied by applying sequential and kinetic extraction methods. The results of this study ... -
Empirical algorithm to estimate the average cosine of underwater light field at 490 nm
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)The average cosine of the underwater light field mu(lambda), where lambda is the wavelength, is an apparent optical property (AOP) that describes the angular distribution of radiance at a given point in water. Here, we ... -
Reducing Vibrio load in Artemia nauplii using antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: a promising strategy to reduce antibiotic application in shrimp larviculture
(Society for Applied Microbiology, 2012)Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an alternative strategy to reduce the use of antibiotics in shrimp larviculture systems is proposed. The growth of a multiple antibiotic resistant Vibrio harveyi strain was ... -
Characterisation of the bacteria associated with barnacle, Balanus amphitrite, shell and their role in gregarious settlement of cypris larvae
(Elsevier, 2012)The acorn barnacle Balanus amphitrite (syn. Amphibalanus amphitrite) is a model organism to investigate pelago-benthic transitions in marine invertebrates. A driver for larval settlement in this organism is the need to ... -
