Surface freshwater from Bay of Bengal runoff and Indonesian throughflow in the tropical Indian Ocean
(AGU, 2006)According to recent estimates, the annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is about 2950 km3, which is more than half that into the entire tropical Indian Ocean (IO). Here we use climatological ... -
Response of deep-sea macrobenthos to a small-scale environmental disturbance
(Elsevier, 2001)To assess the possible effect of nodule mining on deep-sea environment, the Indian deep-sea environment experiment (INDEX) was undertaken in the Indian Basin. The present investigation is a part of the disturbance and ... -
Barcode of life: Advancing species identification and discovery
(Allied, 2006) -
Application of thermoalkalophilic xylanase from Arthrobacter sp. MTCC 5214 in biobleaching of kraft pulp
(Elsevier, 2007)A thermoalkalophilic and cellulase free xylanase produced from Arthrobacter sp. MTCC 5214 in solid state fermentation using wheat bran as a carbon source was evaluated for prebleaching of kraft pulp. The UV absorption ... -
Real-time reporting and internet-accessible cellular based coastal sea level gauge
(2006)A real-time sea-level reporting system utilizing exiting cellular communication infrastructure is described. Several issues involved in the implementation of internetaccessible sea-level gauge have been addressed. It is ... -
Seismotectonics of the Indian subcontinent and the Bengal fan
(2006)The great Sumatra earthquake of 26th December, 2004 (0629 hrs IST) followed by the unique Indian ocean tsunami have added a new dimension to the natural hazard scenario of the country. Hitherto, the coastal region is ... -
Exploration and metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia ; Thoracica) cyprids: significance of sugars and adult extract
(Elsevier, 2002)Earlier observations have shown that sugars in solution adsorb electrostatically through –OH groups to polar groups associated with the cypris larva temporary adhesive (CTA). Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA)-binding sugar ... -
Fronts, water masses and heat content variability in the Western Indian sector of the Southern Ocean during austral summer 2004
(Elsevier, 2006)Two meridional CTD and XBT sections were covered along 45°E and 57°30’E to investigate the morphology of main fronts in the southwest Indian Ocean as a part of Indian pilot expedition to the Southern Ocean on board ORV ... -
Seasonal variation of pteropods from the Western Arabian Sea sediment trap
(Springer, 2006)Sediment trap samples collected from the Western Arabian Sea yielded a rich assemblage of intact and non-living (opaque white) pteropod tests from a water depth of 919 m during January to September 1993. Nine species of ... -
Relevance of biofilm bacteria in modulating the larval metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)Balanus amphitrite, on its larval metamorphosis. The effect of multispecies bacterial film was also assessed. The production of different molecules by the bacteria was influenced by the nutrient media under which they were ... -
Long-term changes in microbial and biochemical parameters in the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2006)Natural kilometer-scale spatial variability and seasonal variability in deepsea sediments at ~5000 m depth was studied at 2 reference sites in the Central Indian Basin. Biochemical parameters such as the labile organic ... -
Coupling Between The North Indian Ocean And The Monsoons: A Model Based Study Of The Thermal Structure Cycling In The Central Arabian Sea
(2005)To examine the role of various intervening processes in controlling the upper ocean thermal structure in the central Arabian Sea, a 1-D mixed-layer model based on turbulent closure scheme is forced by atmospheric fluxes ... -
Glycolipids from the red alga Chondria armata (Kutz.) Okamura
(Oxford University Press, 2006)Three distinct fractions containing polar glycolipids (PF1–3) were isolated from the chloroform soluble fraction of crude methanolic extract of red alga Chondria armata (Kütz.) Okamura on gel chromatography over Sephadex ... -
Monsoonal reversal of remote sensing biases in latent heat flux over eastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)The Arabian Sea is a unique basin where a number of atmospheric and oceanographic processes occur due to the contrasting climatic conditions, which it experiences. The drastic monsoonal variability occurring in the boundary ... -
Impact of freshwater influx on microzooplankton mediated food web in a tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters - India)
(Elsevier, 2006)The diversity, abundance and biomass of microzooplankton in Cochin backwaters were studied for the first time during pre – summer monsoon to peak of summer monsoon (April to July 2003) to understand the impact of large ... -
Lack of seasonality in phytoplankton standing stock (chlorophyll a) and production in the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2006)The investigations in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB) during summer, winter and spring intermonsoon periods evidenced lack of pronounced seasonal variation in phytoplankton standing stock (chlorophyll a) and primary ... -
