Bothid larvae (Pleuronectiformes-Pisces) of the Indian Ocean
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)The larvae of bothids were found to be sparsely distributed in the Indian Ocean, being only 7.6% in IIOE collections (1960-65) and 13.5% in FORV Sagar Sampada (1986-90) samples. They were confined mostly to the coastal ... -
Atoll mangroves and associated flora from Republic of Maldives, Indian Ocean
(International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems, Okinawa, Japan, 1999)Coral islands from the Republic of Maldives were surveyed for their mangroves and feasibility of large scale mangrove afforestation to restore the coastal habitats and stabilize the shore. Extensive mangrove formations ... -
Trophic structure and levels of selected metals in the zooplankton community of Thane-Bassein Creek, Bombay
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)Community structure of zooplankton at 4 locations, 2 in the coastal waters off Bombay and 2 in interior Thane-Bassein Creek System, Maharashtra, India were studied for a period of one year. Copepods as the major herbivore ... -
The Arabian Sea: Physical environment, zooplankton and myctophid abundance
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)The Arabian Sea is one of the most productive regions of the world oceans. This productivity mainly results from coastal and open ocean upwelling in summer and cooling effects during winter. Earlier and more recent studies ... -
Retrieval of sea surface air temperature from satellite data over Indian Ocean: An empirical approach
(Asian Meteorology Online Newsletter, 1999)The sea surface air temperature is an important parameter required for computation of air-sea fluxes over oceans which at present cannot be directly measured from remote sensing. In the present article, an empirical approach ... -
Mean surface fields of heat budget components over the warm pool in the Bay of Bengal during post-monsoon season
(Tata McGraw-Hill, New Delhi, India, 1999)Surface meteorological data collected onboard research vessels ORV Sagarkanya and Gaveshani during 1983-85 have been used in these studies. The analysis revealed that the Mean Sea surface temperature (SST was greater than ... -
Estimation of wave directional spreading in shallow water
(Pergamon, 1999)Wave directional spreading in shallow water is described in this paper. Waves were measured for a period of two months using the Datawell directional waverider buoy at 15m water depth on the east coast of India in the Bay ... -
2-D model for pollutant dispersion at the coastal outfall off Paradip
(Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, India, 1999)Simulation of dispersion of the effluent discharge has been carried out using 2-D Model to verify the advection and diffusion of the pollutant patch of the proposed effluent disposal off Paradip, Orissa, India. The simulation ... -
Watermass structure at benthic disturbance site (INDEX area) and anticipated mining effects on hydro-physical properties
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)Watermass properties were obtained in the Indian Deep Sea Experiment (INDEX) area during pre- (27 May-8 July 1997) and post- (22 July-5 September, 1997) benthic disturbance periods respectively. Watermass (Temperature-Salinity: ... -
Role of the Indian Ocean on the southern oscillation, atmospheric circulation indices and monsoon rainfall over India
(Taylor and Francis, 1999)The relationship between the sea surface temperature (SST) in a small region (0-5 N; 80-85 E) in the Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean and Indian monsoon rainfall and monsoon Indices (M1, U200) has been examined. The role ... -
A quality-control procedure for surface temperature and surface layer inversion in the XBT data archive from the Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1999)A quality control procedure has been developed and validated for Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) data from Indian Ocean archieved at Indian Oceanographic Data Centre (IODC). Two possible sources of errors are considered ... -

Tides in the Gulf of Kutch, India
(Pergamon, 1999)In the Gulf of Kutch on the northwestern shelf of India the semi-diurnal constituents M sub(2) and S sub(2) get amplified approximately threefold. In contrast, amplification on the diurnal consituents K sub(1) and O sub(1) ... -
Aerosol properties over the Arabian Sea during the north east monsoon
(India Meteorological Society, Chennai (India), 1999)Knowledge of the variations of the aerosol properties is essential for the development of the satellite atmospheric correction algorithms. The measurements were carried-out during a cruise using a six channel spectral sun ... -
Near-surface circulation and kinetic energy in the tropical Indian Ocean derived from lagrangian drifters
(Yale University, 1999)Trajectories of 412 satellite-tracked drifting buoys deployed in the tropical Indian Ocean have been analyzed to document the surface circulation and kinetic energy field. Only drifters drogued at 15 m depth and having ... -
Formation and spreading of Arabian Sea high-salinity water mass
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)The formation and seasonal spreading of the Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW) mass were studied based on the monthly mean climatology of temperature and salinity in the Arabian Sea, north of the equator and west of ... -
Freshwater flushing time scales of the Vashishti Estuary, west coast of India
(Taylor and Francis, 1999)Results are presented for the Vashishti estuary, Kerala, India to evaluate its freshwater flushing time scales based on 8 sets of observations of longitudinal salinity distributions. The results of the flushing time using ... -
Propagation of tides in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine network
(ICMAM-PD, Chennai (India), 1999)The propagation of tides in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine network was studied based on the hydrographic observations; mathematical modelling; and chemistry of estuaries. The data was collected during the dry and wet season. ... -
