High resolution climate reconstructions of recent warming using instrumental and ice core records from coastal Antarctica
(India Meteorological Department, 2011)In-situ observational record of Antarctic surface temperatures is rather sparse. Proxy based ice core studies are thus critical for reconstructing the past climate change on centennial and decadal time scales. The present ... -
Mixed layer processes of the Arabian Sea Warm Pool during spring intermonsoon: a study based on observational and satellite data
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)The relative importance and contribution of various processes in the total heat budget in the mixed layer of the Arabian Sea Warm Pool (ASWP) during spring intermonsoon (March–April 2004) were studied using in situ ... -
An overview of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)Distribution and abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India (26 coastal stations and 3 ports) is presented. A total of 47 different types of cysts and a maximum abundance of 1076 ... -
Phytoplankton species composition, abundance and distribution in Fishing area 58 of Indian Ocean sector of Southern Ocean
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)Phytoplankton species composition, abundance and standing stocks investigations were carried out during the First Indian Antarctic Krill Expedition (FIKEX). Nitrate, phosphate and silicate were available in sufficiently ... -
Pre- and post-monsoonal changes in grain size and heavy minerals in the sediments from Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)Sediments from the Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri collected during January, May and October have been studied for processes responsible for the observed grain size variations and heavy mineral distribution. The study shows ... -
Flow cytometric detection of viruses in the Zuari estuary, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2011)The viruses which are abundant in the Indian marine environment can be a major source of mortality of marine microorganisms, consequently affecting the nutrient and energy cycles as well as the microbial community structure. -
Dynamics of circulation of the waters around India: Recent developments and key issues for the future

16S rRNA-based bacterial diversity in the organic-rich sediments underlying oxygen-deficient waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)The eastern Arabian Sea has a unique and permanent oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) that extends along the western continental margin of India. The sediment below this region is rich in organic matter. This study describes the ... -
Sea surface salinity variability during the Indian Ocean Dipole and ENSO events in the tropical Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)An ocean reanalysis that covers the period from 1871 to 2008 is used to analyze the interannual variability of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the tropical Indian Ocean. The reanalysis SSS and the SSS anomaly patterns during ... -
Marine archaeological investigations on Tamil Nadu Coast, India: A overview
(Asian Academy of Heritage Management, 2011)Ancient ports such as Kaveripattinam, Nagapattinam, Korkai, Alagankulam, Periyapattinam, all on Tamil Nadu coast have played a dominant role in the transoceanic trade and commerce with many countries since the beginning ... -
Maritime archaeology of Gujarat: Northwest coast of India
(Asian Academy of Heritage Management, 2011)Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Underwater Cultural Heritage Proceedings. Eds. by: Staniforth, M.; Craig, J.; Jago-on, S.C.; Orillaneda, B.; Lacsina, L.(Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Underwater Cultural Heritage; ... -
Does sea level pressure modulate the dynamic and thermodynamic forcing in the tropical Indian Ocean?
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Three areas, the north Indian Ocean (NIO), the equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO) and the south Indian Ocean (SIO), were chosen over the tropical Indian Ocean to investigate the dependency of sea surface temperature (SST), wind ... -
Does carbonate ion control planktonic foraminifera shell calcification in upwelling regions?
(Current Science Association, 2011)Planktonic foraminifera shell weights have been recognized as possible proxy for surface water carbonate ion concentration [CO sup(=) sub(3)] and atmospheric CO sub(2). However, to utilize this proxy, it is important to ... -
Intra-annual variability of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in suspended organic matter in waters of the western continental shelf of India
(The European Geosciences Union, 2011)Intra-annual variations of delta sup(13)C and delta sup(15)N of watercolumn suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM) have been investigated to understand the biogeochemical cycling of C and N in the Western Continental ... -
Vibrio plantisponsor sp. nov., a diazotrophic bacterium isolated from a mangrove associated wild rice (Porteresia coarctata Tateoka)
(Elsevier, 2011)Two Gram negative, facultatively anaerobic, halophilic, motile, slightly curved rod-shaped bacterial strains MSSRF60 sup(T) and MSSRF64 were isolated from the roots of a mangrove-associated wild rice collected in the ... -
Instrumentation for high-frequency meteorological observations from research vessel
(Marine Technology Society, 2011)Ship provides an attractive platform from which high-frequency meteorological observations (e.g., wind components, water vapor density, and air temperature) can be made accurately. However, accurate observations of ... -
Contribution of mesoscale processes to nutrient budgets in the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)We examine the impact of mesoscale dynamics on the seasonal cycle of primary production in the Arabian Sea with an eddy-resolving (1/12 degrees) bio-physical model. Comparison with observations indicates that the numerical ... -
Baseline of organotin pollution in fishes, clams, shrimps, squids and crabs collected from the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2011)Organotins, especially tributyltins (TBT) are highly toxic to many marine organisms. These compounds are introduced in marine waters by ship trafficking, ship scrapping activities, as antifouling compounds and sewage ... -
Processes controlling the surface temperature signature of the Madden–Julian Oscillation in the thermocline ridge of the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2011)During boreal winter, there is a prominent maximum of intraseasonal sea-surface temperature (SST) variability associated with the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) along a Thermocline Ridge located in the southwestern Indian ... -
Phylogenetic diversity of carbohydrate degrading culturable bacteria from Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, west coast of India
