Tropical cyclones over north Indian Ocean during El-Nino Modoki years
(Springer, 2013)Tropical cyclones are the most hazardous weather systems, which form over warm ocean waters. The frequencies of tropical cyclones show variabilities over all the oceanic basins, during the El-Nino and El-Nino Modoki years. ... -
Demarcation of coastal vulnerability line along the Indian coast
(Indian Society of Geomatics, 2013)Delineation of vulnerability line for coastal region due to dynamic coastal processes and natural coastal hazards is a complex task due to high regional variability and site specific coastal characteristics. A methodology ... -
Deglaciation in the tropical Indian Ocean driven by interplay between the regional monsoon and global teleconnections
(Elsevier, 2013)High resolution climate records of the ice age terminations from monsoon-dominated regions reveal the interplay of regional and global driving forces. Speleothem records from Chinese caves indicate that glacial terminations ... -
Multiple approaches towards decolorization and reuse of a textile dye (VB-B) by a marine bacterium Shewanella decolorationis
(Springer, 2013)Textile dye Victoria Blue-B (VB-B) was approached in two different ways: one to get rid of the color for its easy disposal to the environment, and the other is to reuse the decolorized water for coloring the same dye. ... -
Morphotectonic architecture of an India–Madagascar breakup related anomalous submarine terrace complex on the southwest continental margin of India
(Elsevier, 2013)An anomalous lateral bathymetric protrusion [Alleppey–Trivandrum Terrace Complex (ATTC)] in the form of two contiguous terrace-like features exists in the mid-continental slope off southwest coast of India. This bathymetric ... -
Kinetic enrichment of <sup>34</sup>S during proteobacterial thiosulfate oxidation and the conserved role of SoxB in S-S bond breaking
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013)During chemolithoautotrophic thiosulfate oxidation the phylogenetically-diverged proteobacteria Paracoccus pantotrophus, Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis and Thiomicrospira crunogena rendered steady enrichment of <sup>34</sup>S ... -
Barnacle larval transport in the Mandovi–Zuari estuarine system, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2013)A two-dimensional hydrodynamic and particle tracking model was used to estimate the dispersion and retention of barnacle larvae from their possible spawning sites in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuarine system (central ... -
PCR screening for the surfactin (sfp) gene in marine Bacillus strains and its molecular characterization from Bacillus tequilensis NIOS11
(The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2013)The sfp gene responsible for surfactin production was screened from the DNA extracts of 37 Bacillus spp. whose identity was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. PCR screening revealed amplification of sfp gene ... -
Monsoon and cyclone induced wave climate over the near shore waters off Puduchery, south western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2013)Seasonal and annual variations in wave characteristics are studied based on measurements during 2009–2011 using wave rider buoy. Presence of swells generated by the south Indian Ocean cyclones are found over the south ... -
Performance of the ocean state forecast system at Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services
(Current Science Association, 2013)The reliability of the operational Ocean State Forecast system at the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) during tropical cyclones that affect the coastline of India is described in this article. ... -
Response of Penaeid Prawns (Metapanaeus monoceros) to textile dye industrial effluents (TDIE): An indicator of stress
(OMICS Group, 2013)Studies on acute toxicity of textile effluents, collected from various Textile Dye Industries from Erode industrial area, Tamil Nadu, have been carried out. The juveniles of pink prawns (Metapanaeus monoceros) were exposed ... -
Suspended sediment concentration profiles from synoptic satellite observations
(IEEE, 2013)A method is developed to estimate vertical suspended sediment concentration (SSC) profiles in Gulf of Kachchh, from the sediment concentration values derived from synoptic observations of Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM). Under ... -
Phytoplankton dynamic responses to oil spill in Mumbai Harbour
(Sci-Edit Publications, 2013)The oil spill caused by collision of MSC-Chitra with MV-Khalijia on August 7, 2010 in Mumbai Harbour and surrounding area contaminated the shore and resulted in augmented level of PHc (6692.4-16902.2 mew g/l), though it ... -
Mariniradius saccharolyticus gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Cyclobacteriaceae isolated from marine aquaculture pond water, and emended descriptions of the genus Aquiflexum and Aquiflexum balticum
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2013)A novel marine, Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase- positive, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain AK6 sup(T), was isolated from marine aquaculture pond water collected in Andhra Pradesh, India. The fatty acids ... -
Flavobacterium nitratireducens sp. nov., an amylolytic bacterium of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from coastal surface seawater
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2013)A novel Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain N1 sup(T), was isolated from a marine water sample collected from the sea shore, Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam, India. The strain was positive for ... -
Meiofauna-mangrove interaction: A pilot study from a tropical mangrove habitat
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2013)We studied meiofauna in the sediments and on the surface of roots of four mangrove vegetation types in Chorao island, Goa, Central West coast of India. A total of 14 taxa were recorded from the mangrove roots while 12 taxa ... -
A summer monsoon pump to keep the Bay of Bengal salty
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)The Bay of Bengal receives a large influx of freshwater from precipitation and river discharge. Outflow of excess freshwater and inflow of saltier water is required to prevent the bay from freshening. Relatively fresh water ... -
On the nature of meandering of the springtime western boundary current in the Bay of Bengal
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)We present evidence that the springtime western boundary current (WBC) in the Bay of Bengal is a continuous northward-flowing current from about 12 degrees N to 17 degrees N, which then separates from the coast at around ... -
Structures and mechanisms of the first-branch northward-propagating intraseasonal oscillation over the tropical Indian Ocean
