Sea surface salinity variability in the tropical Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2011)Argo profiles of temperature and salinity data from the north Indian Ocean have been used to address the seasonal and interannual variability of Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) and SSS Anomaly (SSSA) in 2 boxes from the eastern ... -
Nitrate levels modulate denitrification activity in tropical mangrove sediments (Goa, India)
(Springer, 2011)A study to examine the short-term effect of nitrate and organic carbon addition on denitrification activity was carried out on sediments from a mangrove ecosystem prone to anthropogenic activities (Divar, Goa, India). ... -
Neuro-fuzzy based approach for wave transmission prediction of horizontally interlaced multilayer moored floating pipe breakwater
(Elsevier, 2011)The ocean wave system in nature is very complicated and physical model studies on floating breakwaters are expensive and time consuming. Till now, there has not been available a simple mathematical model to predict the ... -
A novel hybrid technology for remediation of molasses-based raw effluents
(Elsevier, 2011)A novel three-step technology for treatment of four molasses-based raw industrial effluents, varying in their COD, color and turbidity is reported here. Sequential steps involved in this treatment are; (1) sonication of ... -
Surface microtextures of quartz grains from the central coast of Tamil Nadu
(Geological Society of India, 2011)Quartz grain surface micro textures of 12 samples collected from the beach were examined under scanning electron microscopy to understand the role of coastal processes on their transportation and deposition. The study area ... -

Tidal propagation off the central west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2011)Present study reviews the characteristics of tidal propagation on the continental shelf off the central west coast of India. Available observations from tide gauges are used to describe the variations of tidal ranges along ... -
Temporal variability of macrofauna from a disturbed habitat in Zuari estuary, west coast of India
(Springer, 2011)Natural disturbances along with human interference make the tropical estuaries amongst the most disturbed areas globally. In spite of this, information on the seasonal variability of macrofauna from tropical estuaries is ... -
An evaluation of flora from coastal sand dunes of India: Rationale for conservation and management
(Elsevier, 2011)A key component that guarantees stability of coastal sand dunes (CSDs) is vegetation. In this study, the floristic composition and distribution from CSDs of India is reviewed. Analysis revealed a total 338 species of CSD ... -
Physical processes in the Gulf of Kachchh: A review
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)A brief review of various physical processes acting in the Gulf of Kachchh (GoK), which have prominent roles in Gulf dynamics, is presented in this article. The eddies present in the GoK confirm that they are permanent ... -
Distribution of meroplankton in relation to the thermocline in the Western Indian ocean during day and night
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1991)Based on 35 night and 27 day zooplankton collections made from a depth of 200 m to surface and the thermocline layer to surface, the distribution of meroplankton in relation to the thermocline was studied in the western ... -
Natural product antifoulants from the octocorals of Indian waters
(Elsevier, 2011)Natural Product Antifoulants (NPAs) have been proposed as one of the best alternatives for the globally banned toxic biocide -TBT-in antifouling coatings. In search of NPAs from Indian waters twenty nine species of Octocorals, ... -
Synthesis, spectral and structural studies of water soluble arene ruthenium (II) complexes containing 2,2′-dipyridyl-N-alkylimine ligand
(Elsevier, 2011)A series of water soluble complexes of general formula [(Eta sup(6)-arene) Ru ((C sub(5) H sub(4) N) sub(2) CNRi) Cl) PF sub(6) have been prepared by the reaction of [[(Eta sup(6)- arene) RuCl sub(2)) sub(2)) with appropriate ... -
Geochemistry of ferromanganese nodule-sediment pairs from central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 2011)Fourteen ferromanganese nodule-sediment pairs from different sedimentary environments such as siliceous ooze (11), calcareous ooze (two) and red clay (one) from Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were analysed for major, ... -
Suspended sediment dynamics on a seasonal scale in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2011)Suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected at regular stations from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries indicates that the peaks of high SPM coincide with peaks of high rainfall and low salinity and also with peaks of ... -
Long-term variations in abundance and distribution of sewage pollution indicator and human pathogenic bacteria along the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2011)Safe water quality criteria on the load and types of microbial populations are important for human use from fishery, tourism and navigational viewpoints. To understand the variations in sewage pollution indicator and certain ... -
Global patterns and predictions of seafloor biomass using random forests
(Public Library of Science, 2010)A comprehensive seafloor biomass and abundance database has been constructed from 24 oceanographic institutions worldwide within the Census of Marine Life (CoML) field projects. The machine-learning algorithm, Random ... -
Impact of global warming on cyclonic storms over north Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)The impact of global warming on the cyclonic storms over the north Indian Ocean have been studied using a suite of multiple datasets that includes the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis, the extended reconstruction sea surface temperature ... -
Simulation study of acoustic wave propagation in ocean
(Foundation of Computer Science, 2010)Many reports are available on the sound attenuation and speed in the deep ocean, as a function of different ingredients of sea. The absorption and speed of sound waves are related to the change in sound speed, depth, ... -
