Aggregation of Euphausia sibogae during summer monsoon along the southwest coast of India
(Hindawi Publishing, 2011)The influence of environmental parameters on the spawning aggregation of Euphausia sibogae was investigated along the southwest coast of India during the peak phase of summer monsoon 2005. The prevailing ecological conditions ... -
Variations of Indian monsoon precipitation during the last 32 kyr reflected in the surface hydrography of the Western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2011)Hydrography of the Bay of Bengal is highly influenced by the river runoff and rainfall during the southwest monsoon. We have reconstructed delta sup(18)Osw, sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature (SST) changes ... -
Influence of orographically enhanced SW monsoon flux on coastal processes along the SE Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)The Arabian Sea has an excess evaporation over precipitation regime. The southeast Arabian Sea is, however, anomalous because it has ~2800–4800 mm rainfall during the southwest monsoon (SWM). Despite a high rainfall, the ... -
Atmospheric dry deposition of inorganic and organic nitrogen to the Bay of Bengal: Impact of continental outflow
(Elsevier, 2011)The continental outflow from south and south-east Asia, persisting during January to March, dominates the widespread dispersal of pollutants over tropical Bay of Bengal. With a view to assess the impact of anthropogenic ... -
Carbon dioxide observations at Cape Rama, India for the period 1993–2002: implications for constraining Indian emissions
(Current Science Association, 2011)India has the second largest population, one of fastest growing economies and is ranked third in greenhouse gas emissions by fossil-fuel burning in the world. However, there has been little monitoring of atmospheric CO ... -
Indian estuaries: Dynamics, ecosystems, and threats
(National Academy of Sciences, 2011)Indian estuaries have special features that are derived from occurrence of the wet Indian Summer Monsoon (June-September) and hence have been called monsoonal estuaries. High runoff during the wet season and a 8-month long ... -
Intraseasonal vertical velocity variation caused by the equatorial wave in the central equatorial Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)Intraseasonal vertical velocity variation in the central equatorial Indian Ocean was investigated using observations from the field experiment "Mirai Indian Ocean Cruise for the Study of the MJO-convection Onset" and from ... -
Quantitative Estimation of Coastal Changes along Selected Locations of Karnataka, India: A GIS and Remote Sensing Approach
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011)Qualitative and quantitative studies on changes of coastal geomorphology and shoreline of Karnataka, India have been carried out using toposheets of Survey of India and satellite imageries (IRS-P6 and IRS-1D). Changes ... -
Organic carbon in Antarctic snow: spatial trends and possible sources
(American Chemical Society, 2011)Organic carbon records in Antarctic snow are sparse despite the fact that it is of great significance to global carbon dynamics, snow photochemistry, and air–snow exchange processes. Here, surface snow total organic carbon ... -
Synthesis of the naturally occurring prenylated coumarins balsamiferone and cedrelopsin by domino reactions
(ARKAT-USA, Inc, 2011)Regioselective one step synthesis of naturally occurring prenyl coumarin balsamiferone is described using domino Wittig reaction, 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangements and deprenylation, while regioselective synthesis of cedrelopsin ... -
Model-based seafloor characterization employing multi-beam angular backscatter data - A comparative study with dual-frequency single beam
(Acoustical Society of America, 2011)Sediment geoacoustic inversion results are estimated employing a multi-beam (MB) echo-sounding system operable at 95 kHz. To characterize the western continental shelf of India (off Goa) seafloor, MB backscatter signals ... -
High resolution climate reconstructions of recent warming using instrumental and ice core records from coastal Antarctica
(India Meteorological Department, 2011)In-situ observational record of Antarctic surface temperatures is rather sparse. Proxy based ice core studies are thus critical for reconstructing the past climate change on centennial and decadal time scales. The present ... -
Mixed layer processes of the Arabian Sea Warm Pool during spring intermonsoon: a study based on observational and satellite data
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)The relative importance and contribution of various processes in the total heat budget in the mixed layer of the Arabian Sea Warm Pool (ASWP) during spring intermonsoon (March–April 2004) were studied using in situ ... -
An overview of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)Distribution and abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India (26 coastal stations and 3 ports) is presented. A total of 47 different types of cysts and a maximum abundance of 1076 ... -
Phytoplankton species composition, abundance and distribution in Fishing area 58 of Indian Ocean sector of Southern Ocean
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)Phytoplankton species composition, abundance and standing stocks investigations were carried out during the First Indian Antarctic Krill Expedition (FIKEX). Nitrate, phosphate and silicate were available in sufficiently ... -
Pre- and post-monsoonal changes in grain size and heavy minerals in the sediments from Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)Sediments from the Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri collected during January, May and October have been studied for processes responsible for the observed grain size variations and heavy mineral distribution. The study shows ... -
Flow cytometric detection of viruses in the Zuari estuary, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2011)The viruses which are abundant in the Indian marine environment can be a major source of mortality of marine microorganisms, consequently affecting the nutrient and energy cycles as well as the microbial community structure. -
Dynamics of circulation of the waters around India: Recent developments and key issues for the future

16S rRNA-based bacterial diversity in the organic-rich sediments underlying oxygen-deficient waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)The eastern Arabian Sea has a unique and permanent oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) that extends along the western continental margin of India. The sediment below this region is rich in organic matter. This study describes the ... -
Sea surface salinity variability during the Indian Ocean Dipole and ENSO events in the tropical Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)An ocean reanalysis that covers the period from 1871 to 2008 is used to analyze the interannual variability of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the tropical Indian Ocean. The reanalysis SSS and the SSS anomaly patterns during ...
