Archaeological sites on the Indian Ocean Rim - A growing database
(2007)This section is designed to act as a plafform for reporting explored and excavated sites of all periods located along the Indian Ocean rim. The Indian Ocean is broadly defined It Includes the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, the ... -
Offshore limit of coastal ocean variability identified from hydrography and altimeter data in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Pergamon, 2002)In this communication, we describe a hitherto-unknown offshore limit to the coastal ocean variability signatures away from the continental shelf in the eastern Arabian Sea, based on hydrographic observations and satellite ... -
Differences in heat budgets of the near-surface Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal: Implications for the summer monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)An analysis of the heat budgets of the near-surface Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal shows significant differences between them during the summer monsoon (June-September). In the Arabian Sea the winds associated with the ... -
Air-sea interactions and exchanges
(JGOFS International Project Office, University of Bergen, Norway, 2002)To support the idea that the Arabian Sea makes a significant contribution to biogeochemical ocean-atmosphere transfer processes, quantification of parameters such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, ammonia and ... -
Sedimentation
(JGOFS International Project Office, University of Bergen, Norway, 2002)The Monsoonal impact on the deep ocean fluxes, organic carbon export into the ocean's interior, and the difference between the deep-sea organic carbon fluxes and sedimentary organic carbon burial rates in the Arabian Sea ... -
Stone anchors from Bet Dwarka Island, Gujarat, Coast, India: Significance to historical period maritime activities
(Australasian Institute of Maritime Archaeology, 2002)Bet Dwarka Island is situated on the extreme west of Indian territory in Jamnagar district of Gujarat. Underwater, the most preserved remains of ancient maritime activity could be the stone anchors of different types, as ... -
Influence of a tropical cyclone on chlorophyll-a concentration in the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)The effect of a tropical cyclone on the variation of phytoplankton biomass in terms of surface chlorophyll-a is brought out based on satellite observations and mixed layer model simulations in the Arabian Sea during 21 ... -
A review and re-assessment of sediment transport along the Goa Coast, India
(Coastal Research Foundation, 2002)Although, a variety of methods have been employed to determine sediment transport along Goa coast, India, the results differ in some sections. Fifteen studies have been reviewed, compared, re-assessed and a corrected shore ... -
Seismic and sequence stratigraphy of the central western continental margin of India: late-Quaternary evolution
(Elsevier, 2002)Seismic and sequence stratigraphic architecture of the central western continental margin of India (between Coondapur and south of Mangalore) has been investigated with shallow seismic data. Seismic stratigraphic analysis ... -
Magnetic basement in the central Bay of Bengal
(Kluwer, 2002)Analyses of about 6000 km of processed magnetic data in the central Bay of Bengal using Analytical Signal Processing and Werner Deconvolution techniques revealed that the depth to top of the magnetic basement varies between ... -
Comparison of nutritional status of field and laboratory reared Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica) larvae and implication of starvation
(Elsevier, 2002)Experiments were carried out to evaluate the influence of rearing temperature and food concentration (20 and 30 degrees C, 1x10 sup(5) and 2x10 sup(5) cells ml sup(-1)) on the starvation threshold and nucleic acid content ... -
Bioremediation of coloured pollutants by terrestrial versus facultative marine fungi
(Fungal Diversity Press; Hong Kong; China, 2002)Lignin is a most complex heteropolymer and does not contain identical, readily hydrolysable repeating linkages at regular intervals as in other natural polymers such as cellulose, protein or nucleic acids. The random nature ... -
Need for setback lines in coastal zone management: A meteorological point of view
(Indian Meteorological Society, Mumbai (India), 2002)Hydrometeorological events are the greatest coastal hazard for the Indian people. The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, which includes areas likely to be flooded by sea level rise due to global warming should, ... -
An evaluation of physical and biogeochemical processes regulating perennial suboxic conditions in the water column of the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)Monthly oxygen budgets for the subsurface Arabian Sea (100-1000 m) are constructed on the basis of Modular Ocean Model and recently collected oxygen data. The model results are in agreement with the observed pattern. The ... -
Observations of barrier layer formation in the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)Time series of temperature and salinity in the upper ocean, measured at 17 degrees 30'N, 89 degrees E in the northern Bay of Bengal, from 27 July to 6 August 1999 captured an event of upper layer freshening. Initially, the ... -
Degradation of marine habitats and coastal management framework
(Vidya Prasarak Mandal's B.N. Bandodkar College of Science; Thane (India), 2002)The coastal zone of the country with its wetlands, lagoons, mangroves, sea-grass beds, coral reefs and shallow bays, creeks and estuaries is rich in natural resources including fisheries, coastal forestry products and ... -
Status of oil pollution along the Indian coast
(Vidya Prasarak Mandal's B.N. Bandodkar College of Science; Thane (India), 2002)The Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal have been estimated to annually receive around 5 x 10 sup(6) and 4 x 10 sup(5) t/y petroleum respectively from routine discharges from oil tankers and other ships plying the shipping ... -
Impact of wastewater on phytoplankton
(Vidya Prasarak Mandal's B.N. Bandodkar College of Science; Thane (India), 2002)A number of studies on phytoplankton were conducted by National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India at Thane Creek, Maharashtra, India, Ulhas River estuary, Versova Creek and Mahim Creek under Coastal Ocean Monitoring ... -
Zooplankton - Study methods, importance and significant observations
(Vidya Prasarak Mandal's B.N. Bandodkar College of Science; Thane (India), 2002)The intent of this section is to review briefly current knowledge of the structure and dynamics of the zooplankton and its ecology. Zooplankton are mysids of animal organisms that drift with currents. In an aquatic ecosystem ... -
Marine benthos - A future perspective
(Vidya Prasarak Mandal's B.N. Bandodkar College of Science; Thane (India), 2002)Benthic organisms are reported from different kinds of substrate like hard bottom, soft bottom, coarse bottom and also from organic matter and other macrodebris. Benthos are in general, sessile and slow moving in nature. ...
