Bimodal character of cyclone climatology in the Bay of Bengal modulated by monsoon seasonal cycle
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)The annual cycle of tropical cyclone (TC) frequency over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) exhibits a notable bimodal character, different from a single peak in other basins. The causes of this peculiar feature were investigated ... -
The carbon budget of South Asia
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)The source and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) and methane (CH sub(4)) due to anthropogenic and natural biospheric activities were estimated for the South Asian region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and ... -
A new record of Scylla olivacea (Dcapoda, Bachyura, Prtunidae) from Goa, central west coast of India – A comparative diagnosis
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)Taxonomic studies on mud crabs (Scylla) reveal considerable ambiguity in species identification owing to overlap of morphological characters. Present study consists a new record of Scylla olivacea along with a comparative ... -
Intensified oxygen minimum zone on the western shelf of Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon: Influence of river discharge
(Springer, 2013)A study on biogeochemical cycling in the west coastal Bay of Bengal was undertaken during the peak discharge period to understand the influence of enhanced stratification and primary production on the possible intensification ... -
Seasonality and variability of coccolithophore fluxes in response to diverse oceanographic regimes in the Bay of Bengal: Sediment trap results
(Elsevier, 2013)A study on coccolithophores from the sediment trap samples, collected over a period of one year (January 1992–December 1992) from three trap locations in the Bay of Bengal (BOB) were used to understand their production and ... -
Mitochondrial DNA analysis reveals three stocks of yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788) in Indian waters
(Springer, 2013)Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is an epipelagic, oceanic species of family Scombridae found in tropical and subtropical region of Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Ocean. It is commercially important fish and accounts for ... -
Observation-Based Estimates of Surface Cooling Inhibition by Heavy Rainfall under Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)Tropical cyclones drive intense ocean vertical mixing that explains most of the surface cooling observed in their wake (the "cold wake"). The influence of cyclonic rainfall on the cold wake at a global scale over the 2002-09 ... -
Near-inertial currents off the east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)We use data from moorings equipped with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and deployed in the Bay of Bengal off the east coast of India from May 2009 to February 2012 to study the near-inertial currents (NICs) on ... -
Sulfide oxidizing activity as a survival strategy in mangrove clam Polymesoda erosa (Solander, 1786)
(Bionano Frontier, 2013)The clam Polymesoda erosa is a large dioceous bivalve mollusk found in the mangroves restricted in high tidal Avicennia sp. zone of the mangrove forest. The present study was aimed at understanding the occurrence of P. ... -
Retrieved bacteria from Noctiluca miliaris (green) bloom of the northeastern Arabian Sea
(Chinese Society for Oceanology and Limnology, 2013)In recent years, seasonal blooms of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca miliaris have appeared in the open-waters of the northern Arabian Sea (NAS). This study provides the first characterization of bacteria from a seasonal bloom ... -
In situ profiling of eastern Arabian Sea coastal waters using a new autonomous vertical profiler
(IEEE, 2013)The autonomous vertical profiler (AVP) presented here offers a fast, cost-effective, optimized approach to profiling in coastal waters. It consists of a hands-free, slightly buoyant, motor-driven in situ robot profiler ... -
Variation in heavy metals concentration in the edible oyster Crassostrea madrasensis, clam Polymesoda erosa and grey mullet Liza aurata from coastline of India
(Discovery Publication, 2013)Seven trace metals Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co) and Cadmium (Cd) variation and (or) accumulation in mullet fish L. aurata, edible bivalve oyster C. madrasensis from Gosthany ... -
Stable isotopic analysis of Barnacle larvae and their faecal pellets to evaluate the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2013)Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen are useful in the evaluation of food web dynamics and have been used extensively in the feeding studies. Barnacles are dominant component of the intertidal and bio-fouling communities. ... -
Albirhodobacter marinus gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Rhodobacteraceae isolated from sea shore water of Visakhapatnam, India
(Springer, 2013)A novel marine, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain N9 sup(T), was isolated from a water sample of the sea shore at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh (India). Strain N9 sup(T) was found to be positive for ... -
Silanimonas mangrovi sp. nov., a member of the family Xanthomonadaceae isolated from mangrove sediment, and emended description of the genus Silanimonas
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2013)A novel Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain AK13 sup(T), was isolated from a sediment sample collected from mangrove of Namkhana, Sunderbans, West Bengal, India. Strain AK13 sup(T) was positive ... -
High-resolution residual geoid and gravity anomaly data of the northern Indian Ocean - An input to geological understanding
(Elsevier, 2013)Geoid data are more sensitive to density distributions deep within the Earth, thus the data are useful for studying the internal processes of the Earth leading to formation of geological structures. A much improved version ... -
Marinilabilia nitratireducens sp. nov., a lipolytic bacterium of the family Marinilabiliaceae isolated from marine solar saltern
(Springer, 2013)A Gram-negative, rod shaped, motile bacterium, was isolated from a marine solar saltern sample collected from Kakinada, India. Strain AK2 sup(T) was determined to be positive for nitrate reduction, catalase, Ala-Phe-Pro- ... -
Numerical modelling of tides and storm surges in the Bay of Bengal
(2012)This study generated improved reliable bathymetric datasets for the continental shelf of the Indian Ocean. Simulation of tides and generation of co-range and co-tidal charts of the major semi-diurnal and diurnal constituents ... -
Ancient coastal transportation system along the Western Saurashtra coast: Evidence from Navibandar
(Current Science Association, 2013)A recent maritime archaeological exploration around Navibandar, Gujarat yielded evidence of ferry/jetty points. These points were well connected with the stone-paved roads. Interestingly, the roads have evidence of the use ... -
