Tidal characteristics in the Gulf of Khambhat, northern Arabian Sea - based on observation and global tidal model data
(Elsevier, 2020)Summary Tidal characteristics of the Gulf of Khambhat are described based on measured and modelled sea-level data. Data were recorded at three locations inside and two locations outside the Gulf with record lengths of 6-12 ... -
Influence of eddies on phytoplankton composition in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Several cyclonic (CE) and anticyclonic (ACE) eddies form in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and they expect to contain different proportion of nutrients due to divergence and convergence of waters respectively and may have impact ... -
Evidence for brown carbon absorption over the Bay of Bengal during the southwest monsoon season: a possible oceanic source
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020)Light-absorbing brown carbon aerosols can have a marine origin over the coastal oceans and are likely associated with the sea salt component emitted from the ocean surface - significantly contributes to aerosol radiative ... -
Comparative assessment of antioxidant potential of different body parts of the yellow seahorse, Hippocampus kuda (Bleeker, 1852): source of traditional medicine
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2020)Antioxidant potential of different body parts such as seahorse internal organs (SIO), skin with bones (SSB), bones (SB) and muscle tissues (SM) of cultured yellow seahorse, Hippocampus kuda was assessed in terms of total ... -
Response of particle-associated bacteria to long-term heavy metal contamination in a tropical estuary
(Springer, 2020)Estuaries being the connecting link between terrestrial and marine environment, experience spatial variations in the hydrographic variables as well as concentrations of pollutants. The present study reports a contrasting ... -
Modulation of chlorophyll concentration by downwelling Rossby waves during the winter monsoon in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Signatures of Rossby waves that are evident in satellite ocean colour data in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) are more prominent during the winter than the summer monsoon. During the winter, the sea level is high, and ... -
Back-to-Back Occurrence of Tropical Cyclones in the Arabian Sea During October-November 2015: Causes and Responses
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)In the Arabian Sea, two extremely severe cyclonic storms occurred back to back during October-November 2015. Using a suite of ocean and atmospheric data, we examined the upper ocean responses of tropical cyclones Chapala ... -
Bioconversion of chitin and concomitant production of chitinase and N-acetylglucosamine by novel Achromobacter xylosoxidans isolated from shrimp waste disposal area
(Nature Research, 2020)Marine pollution is a significant issue in recent decades, with the increase in industries and their waste harming the environment and ecosystems. Notably, the rise in shellfish industries contributes to tons of shellfish ... -
Tectonic appraisal of the Mid-Thane Creek of Mumbai, India: An integrated geophysical approach
(Springer, 2020)Integrated geophysical surveys, comprising marine magnetic, high resolution shallow seismic and single-beam bathymetry were conducted to assess subsurface tectonics of the Mid-Thane Creek (MTC) of Mumbai. The bathymetry ... -
Characterizing three shallow-water locations off Goa, India, using passive acoustic data
(Acoustical Society of America (ASA), 2020)In this study, an analysis of the passive acoustic data is carried out for the quantitative characterization of shallow-water acoustic environments from three major estuarine systems of Goa during the months of March and ... -
Effect of undulating bottom on wave interaction with a floating flexible plate coupled with a flexible porous barrier
(Springer, 2020)In the present study, under the assumption of small amplitude water wave theory and structural response, effect of bed undulation on the wave interaction with a combination of flexible porous barrier and a flexible floating ... -
Hilbert-Huang transform analysis of surface wavefield under tropical cyclone Hudhud
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)The characteristics of an evolving ocean surface wavefield under tropical cyclone Hudhud that took place in October 2014 are investigated. The Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT) is used for the spectral analysis of the ... -
Extending the limit of widespread dispersed Toba volcanic glass shards and identification of new in-situ volcanic events in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Springer, 2020)We report the widespread extent of Toba volcanic glass shards in the Central Indian Ocean Basin. Investigation of four sediment cores (7o-17oS) revealed several shard-rich horizons (SRH) that provide the first detailed ... -
A roadmap to IndOOS-2: Better observations of the rapidly-warming Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS), established in 2006, is a multinational network of sustained oceanic measurements that underpin understanding and forecasting of weather and climate for the Indian Ocean region ... -
Autonomous profiling float observations reveal the dynamics of deep biomass distributions in the denitrifying oxygen minimum zone of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Data from 13 autonomous profiling BGC-Argo floats, equipped with biogeochemical and bio-optical sensors deployed between 2011 and 2016, were used to explore the potential of bio-optical methods to map deep biomass distribution ... -
Salmonella Contamination of Seafood in Landing Centers and Retail Markets of Mumbai, India
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)Background: Seafood contamination with Salmonella enterica is not only a public health concern, but can also lead to economic losses due to import rejections. Continuous monitoring of seafood for Salmonella is necessary ... -
