Classification of tidal inlets along the Central east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Coastal inlets are the openings along the coastline that provide a linkage between the open ocean and the hinterland water bodies. These coastal inlets are varied in nature depending on many influencing parameters such as ... -
Classification of tidal inlets along the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Tidal inlets along the Maharashtra coast on the central west coast of India were classified according to three methods available in the literature. Two classification methods viz., (i) Hydrodynamic classification (Hayes, ... -
Time series monitoring of water quality and microalgal diversity in a tropical bay under intense anthropogenic interference (SW coast of the Bay of Bengal, India)
(Elsevier, 2015)In recent decades, material fluxes to coastal waters from various land based anthropogenic activities have signifi- cantly been enhanced around the globe which can considerably impact the coastal water quality and ecosystem ... -
Marinobacter nitratireducens sp. nov., a halophilic and lipolytic bacterium isolated from coastal surface sea water
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2015)A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain AK21<sup>T</sup> , was isolated from coastal surface sea water at Visakhapatnam, India. The strain was positive for oxidase, catalase, lipase, ... -
Response of bacterioplankton to iron fertilization of the Southern Ocean, Antarctica
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015)Ocean iron fertilization is an approach to increase CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration. The Indo-German iron fertilization experiment “LOHAFEX” was carried out in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica in 2009 to monitor ... -
Influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on the water quality of the coastal waters around the South Andaman in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2015)During the last decade, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) have witnessed a marginal population growth with associated variations and degradation in the water quality of the inhabited coastal region. Monthly water quality ... -
Trophic–salinity gradients and environmental redundancy resolve mesozooplankton dynamics in a large tropical coastal lagoon
(Elsevier, 2015)Coastal lagoons around the world have become increasingly vulnerable to eutrophication and often the impingement is severe with regard to plankton. In this study, we measured how environmental heterogeneity persuades ... -
Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and its δ13C in the Ganga (Hooghly) River estuary, India: Evidence of DIC generation via organic carbon degradation and carbonate dissolution
(Elsevier, 2015)In this study, we present comprehensive data on dissolved Ca, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and its carbon isotope composition (δ<sup>13</sup><sup>C</sup>DIC) of (i) the Ganga (Hooghly) River estuary water sampled during ... -
Surface wave climatology and its variability in the North Indian Ocean based on ERA-Interim reanalysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)The climate over the north Indian Ocean (NIO) is one of the most dynamic in the world because of seasonally reversing monsoon winds. In this study, the climate of the NIO and the variability of its surface waves using the ... -
Fluctuations of Mediterranean outflow water circulation in the Gulf of Cadiz during MIS 5 to 7: Evidence from benthic foraminiferal assemblage and stable isotope records
(Elsevier, 2015)We studied variations in benthic foraminiferal assemblages and δ<sup>13</sup>C for the last 225 kyr at IODP site U1387 which is currently bathed by upper core of the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW). The MOW paleocirculation ... -
Cell volumes of marine phytoplankton from globally distributed coastal data sets
(Elsevier, 2015)Globally there are numerous long-term time series measuring phytoplanton abundance. With appropriate conversion factors, numerical species abundance can be expressed as biovolume and then converted to phytoplankton carbon. ... -
Response of bacteria and phytoplankton from a subtropical front location Southern Ocean to micronutrient amendments ex-situ
(Elsevier, 2015)The effects of micronutrient amendments such as cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and their mixture (Co+Cu+Fe) on bacterial abundance, phytoplankton, bacterial community (BC) composition were examined at a subtropical ... -
Infection and pathogenecity of Myroides odoratimimus (NIOCR-12) isolated from the gut of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758))
(Elsevier, 2015)Myroides sp. are gram negative aerobes and known for its oppurtunistic pathogenicity in humans. In the present study, Myroides odoratimimus isolated from the gut of Mugil cephalus showed potential infectivity to the ... -
Environmental isotopes to test hypotheses for fluid mud (mud bank) generation mechanisms along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)Occurrence of fluid mud (mud banks) in the southwest coast of India is an enigma for the scientific community. Over the years, several multi-disciplinary studies were conducted and various hypotheses were postulated on the ... -
Deep sea drilling in the Arabian Sea: Constraining tectonic-monsoon interactions in South Asia (Report)
(International Ocean Discovery Program, 2015)The Indian (southwest) summer monsoon is one of the most intense climatic phenomena on Earth. Its long-term development has been linked to the growth of high topography in South and Central Asia. The Indian continental ... -
Estimation of air-sea CO2 flux in the coastal waters of Visakhapatnam
(Springer, 2015)Observations were conducted in a time series mode off Visakhapatnam in Bay of Bengal, for a period of 10 days from 8 to 19th February 2013 to examine the short-term atmospheric events on chemical processes in the upper 100 ... -
Complex interplay of physical forcing and Prochlorococcus population in ocean
(Elsevier, 2015)Physical forcing can replenish nutrients within the mixed layer by convective mixing or via upwelling. Conventional wisdom holds this enrichment fuels phytoplankton growth, for example ventilation of subsurface water during ... -
Projected impact of climate change on waves at Mumbai High
(Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)Structures built in the sea are traditionally designed according to historical climate observations or hindcasts. In geographical locations typical of India, such designs do not take the effect of future climate change ... -
