(Taylor and Francis, 2007)The 26 December 2004 monster tsunami that struck many South Asian countries, and the severe destruction and devastation wrought by that, have drawn attention to the urgent need for a versatile disaster warning system for ... -
Weekly observations on dispersal and sink pathways of the terrigenous flux of the Ganga-Brahmaputra in the Bay of Bengal during NE monsoon
(Elsevier, 2005)The analyses of 64 sequential satellite images (October 1999-March 2001) of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite IRS-P4 ocean color monitor (OCM) (bands around 490, 555, and 670 nm) for total suspended matter (TSM), synchronous ... -
Weight-length relationship and Fulton�s condition factor of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) from the Southeast coast of India
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)The present study provides information on weight- length relationship (WLR) and Fulton�s condition factor (K) of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) sampled from Palk Bay (PB) and Gulf of Mannar ... -
Weight-length relationship, morphometric and meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 (Syngnathiformes: Syngnathidae) from central west coast of India
(2019)Eighteen morphometric and five meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 inhabiting the coastal waters of Ratnagiri, central west coast of India, were studied. Morphometric/numerical analysis ... -
West India coastal current and Lakshadweep High/Low
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1998)The West India Coastal Current (WICC) flows northward during November-February and southward during April-September. At the time of formation of the northward (southward) phase of the current, a high (low) in sea level - ... -
Western Indian Ocean - A glimpse of the tectonic scenario
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The Western Indian Ocean is a veritable storehouse of diverse and complex tectonic features. Most of the knowledge about the major tectonic features of this area has emanated from the studies carried out with the geophysical ... -
Western Pacific Oceanic Heat Content: A Better Predictor of La Ni�a Than of El Ni�o
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)The western equatorial Pacific oceanic heat content (warm water volume in the west or WWVw) is the best El Ni�o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictor beyond 1-year lead. Using observations and selected Coupled Model ... -
Westward movement of eddies into the Gulf of Aden from the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)Sea level anomalies (SLA) from satellite altimetry (1993-2003) reveal the westward movement of mesoscale eddies in the Gulf of Aden. Inside the gulf the eddies move at a speed of approx. 6.0-8.5 cm s sup(-1), comparable ... -
Wet deposition of air pollution at southwest monsoon outbreak and its impact on groundwater resources of Greater Kochi region

What Controls the Flushing Efficiency and Particle Transport Pathways in a Tropical Estuary? Cochin Estuary, Southwest Coast of India
(MDPI AG, 2020)Estuaries with poor flushing and longer residence time retain effluents and pollutants, ultimately resulting in eutrophication, a decline in biodiversity and, finally, deterioration of water quality. Cochin Estuary (CE), ... -
