Tides and sea-level variability
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2007)Variation of water level in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, India was monitored for a month at 13 locations using tide-poles during March–April 2003. Analysis of these data provided characteristics of how tidal ... -
The environment that conditions the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2007)The Mandovi and Zuari estuaries in Goa, India are coastal plain estuaries located between the Sahyadris (Western Ghats) and the Arabian Sea. Each estuary is about 50 km long. On the basis of geometry, they can be divided ... -
Influence of environmental forcings on the seasonality of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the Bay of Bengal
(Yale University, 2007)Studies on seasonal variability of oxygen and nutrients during three seasons namely SW monsoon, fall intermonsoon and spring intermonsoon indicate influence of physical forcings on the distribution of these hydrochemical ... -
On the occurrence of blooms of blue-green algae and the associated oceanographic conditions in the Northern Indian Ocean
(1972)A survey of the existing literature on the occurrence of special blooms of planktonic algae and the phenomena such as Red Tide in the Northern Indian Ocean has been attempted The paper describes the occurrence of blooms ... -
Bacterial growth efficiency in a tropical estuary: Seasonal variability subsidized by allochthonous carbon
(Springer, 2007)Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is a key factor in understanding bacterial influence on carbon flow in aquatic ecosystems. Intra-annual variability in BGE, and bacteria-mediated carbon flow in the tropical Mandovi and ... -
Native aluminium (spherules and particles) in the central Indian Basin sediments: Implications on the occurrence of hydrothermal events
(Elsevier, 2007)We have sampled particles of native aluminium (Alº) in two sediment cores from the Central Indian Basin (CIB). The cores are geographically separated but are located at the base of two seamounts. The native Alº particles ... -
Thermohaline structure of an inverse estuary - The Gulf of Kachchh: Measurements and model simulations
(Elsevier, 2007)The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) is situated in the northeastern Arabian Sea. The presence of several industries along its coastal belt makes GoK a highly sensitive coastal ecosystem. In the present study, an attempt is made for ... -
Trajectory of an oil spill off Goa, eastern Arabian Sea: Field observations and simulations
(Elsevier, 2007)An oil spill occurred off Goa, west coast of India, on 23 March 2005 due to collision of 2 vessels. In general, fair weather with weak winds prevails along the west coast of India during March. In that case, the spill would ... -
Vertical distribution of mesozooplankton biomass in relation to oxygen minimum layer in the Andaman Sea during February 1999
(CMFRI, 2003)Mesozooplankton biomass in the upper 1000m of the Andaman Sea was studied as part of the Marine Research-Living Resources (MR-LR) assessment programme during February 1999 providing baseline information on stratification ... -
Quality Search Content: A Reality With Next Generation Browsers
(Wiley Inter Science Periodicals Inc, 2007)Internet became destiny to get information or to transact a business need. Most of the works including the recent articles demands for quality search content from the Web. The Interactions in the Internet are performed ... -
Atmospheric deposition and surface stratification as controls of contrasting chlorophyll abundance in the North Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)Intense upwelling during summer and convection in winter are believed to drive higher biological productivity in the Arabian Sea than in the Bay of Bengal. Although the Arabian Sea receives substantial atmospheric deposition ... -
Variability in abundance and fluxes of dimethyl sulphide in the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2007)Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) is a biogenic gas of climatic significance on which limited information is available from the Indian Ocean. To fill in this gap, we collected data on DMS and DMSPt (total dimethylsulphoniopropionate) ... -
Variability in measured current structure on the southwest continental shelf of India
(The Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2007)Analyses of short duration current meter records collected in the coastal waters off Beypore on the southwest coast of India have been made to understand the tidal and non-tidal variability during premonsoon and summer ... -
Monsoonal impact on planktonic standing stock and abundance in a tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters - India)
(Elsevier, 2007)Environmental studies in the Cochin backwaters (CBW), a tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India showed that seasonal fluctuation in salinity created by the monsoonal rainfall and associated run off is the major ... -
Stimulation of sulfate-reducing activity at salt-saturation in the salterns of Ribandar, Goa, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2007)In order to address the question if Sulphate Reducing Activity (SRA) ever gets arrested at salt saturation, it was measured at 0-2, 2-5 and 5-10 cm depth in sediment cores from the salt pans of Ribandar (Goa) using 35S – ... -
Species interactions within a fouling diatom community: Roles of nutrients, initial inoculum and competitive strategies
(Taylor & Francis, 2007)Diatoms constitute an important component of the fouling community. Although a lot of work has dealt with the fouling diatom community structure, work on the species interactions within the community is still meager. In ... -
Improved bathymetric datasets for the shallow water regions in the Indian Ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)Ocean modellers use bathymetric datasets like ETOPO5 and ETOPO2 to represent the ocean bottom topography. The former dataset is based on digitization of depth contours greater than 200 m, and the latter is based on satellite ...
