Air-Sea Coupling Over The Equatorial Indian Ocean
(2007)The present work aims at understanding the upper ocean variability of the EIO on a seasonal scale and then to explore the atmospheric forcing responsible for it.To achieve the objective, the Equatorial Indian Ocean between ... -
Response of macrobenthic communties to oil spills along Goa coast
(2007)Oil pollution is a major environmental problem and is important, in particular to the Indian coastline as two main oil tanker routes pass through the Arabian Sea. In contrary to the decrease in oil spill globally, the ... -
Analysis of chlorophyll pigment concentration in the northern Arabian Sea using remote sensing and GIS
(2007)The phytoplankton in the ocean plays an important role not only because it produces food that sustains the marine life, but also it is capable of regulating CO2 and there by influencing the climate of the earth system. It ... -
Bay of Bengal Process Studies (BOBPS) Final Report
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, 2007)The Bay of Bengal Process Studies (BOBPS) was conceived in early 1997 as a sequel to the JGOFS (Joint Global Ocean Flux Study) India - Arabian Sea Process Study. Soon after the completion of the JGOFS field experiments ... -
Mineral resources of the Indian Ocean and related scientific research
(1985)The Indian Ocean (area: 74.917 x 106 km2, water volume: 291.945 x 106 km3, average depth: 3897 m) is the third largest of the world oceans. The lands bordering the ocean contain almost 40 percent of the world's population ... -
Coupling Between The North Indian Ocean And The Monsoons: A Model Based Study Of The Thermal Structure Cycling In The Central Arabian Sea
(2005)To examine the role of various intervening processes in controlling the upper ocean thermal structure in the central Arabian Sea, a 1-D mixed-layer model based on turbulent closure scheme is forced by atmospheric fluxes ... -
Hydrographic features of the gas hydrate studies survey area of cruise AASGH4 in the Bay of Bengal
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2006)Hydrographic data were collected from the research ship ‘A.A. Siderenko’ in the Bay of Bengal in [(81.70 degrees E, 82.90 degrees E) x (15.75 degrees N, 16.20 degrees N)] grid at 9 selected stations, in between stn. Nos ... -
Hydrographic features of the gas hydrate studies survey area of cruise AASGH2 in the Arabian Sea

Study of Goa and its environment from space: A report on coastal sand dune ecosystems of Goa: Siginficance, uses and anthropogenic impacts
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 1998)Until the 1970's, the coastal zone of Goa was largely pristine. However, the advent of tourism and the resultant construction boom along the coastline have induced large scale changes in the geological and ecological set ... -
Application of remote sensing and GIS in the analysis of environment of Bay of Bengal
(2006)The Bay of Bengal is a northern extended arm of the Indian Ocean, situated in eastern part between equator and 220N latitude and 800E and 1000E longitude. It is a tropical basin, landlocked in the north by the landmasses ... -
Environmental studies of the Arabian Sea using remote sensing, GIS and GPS techniques
(2006)The Arabian Sea, situated in the western part of the northern Indian Ocean is a tropical basin. It is bounded on the east by the Indian peninsula, on the north by Baluchistan and Sindh provinces of Pakistan and on the west ... -
M. V. sea transporter oil spill and its environmental impact assessment
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 1994)On 5 June 1994, ore carrier M.V. Sea Transporter, was drifted to Sinquerim-Goa coast from Mormugao harbour in the squall that hit the Goa coast and grounded on the rocks, a few metres from the Sinquerim beach. The ship ... -
Bombay high oil spill and its environmental impact
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 1993)On 17 May 1993, a major oil-slick about 10 miles long and 2 miles wide, was formed about 165 km north off Bombay after the Bombay-High-Uran pipeline ruptured and estimated 3000-6000 tonnes of oil was spilled into the sea. ... -
Oil spill in Bombay high marine impacts
