Spatial variation of phytoplankton pigments along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2006)Phytoplankton composition and abundance were studied along the southwestern Indian coast toward the end of the upwelling season in October 2004. Phytoplankton pigment analyses, complemented by limited microscopic counts, ... -
Wave characteristics around Sittwe Port, Myanmar
(Naval Science and Technological Laboratory, Visakhapatnam, 2006)This paper presents wave characteristics estimated around Sittwe port, which is located on the Paton Peninsula, Myanmar. Wind data recorded from January 1998 to December 2001 at Sittwe port was used for estimation of wave ... -
Estimation of tropical cyclone heat potential in the Bay of Bengal and its role in the genesis and intensification of storms
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)In the present study, cyclone heat potential (CHP) in the Bay of Bengal has been estimated for different seasons using Levitus climatology. A good association was noticed between CHP and the efficiency of intensification ... -
Tolerance and immobilization of cobalt by some bacteria from ferromanganese crusts of the afanasiy Nikitin Seamounts
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)Bacteria isolated from cobalt–enriched ferromanganese crusts on the Afanasiy Nikitin Seamounts in the Equatorial Indian Ocean were examined for their ability to tolerate, and immobilize cobalt in unamended seawater and ... -
Alpha-L-Arabinofuranosidases: The potential applications in biotechnology
(Society for Industrial Microbiology, 2006)Recently, Alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases (EC3.2.1.55) have received increased attention primarily due to their role in the degradation of lignocelluloses as well as their positive effect on the activity of other enzymes ... -
Nature of the crust in the Laxmi Basin (14°-20°N), western continental margin of India
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)The nature of the crust in the Laxmi Basin, western margin of India is an uncertain issue; more importantly this has implications on paleo-geographic reconstructions of the western Indian Ocean. We have analysed three ... -
Comparative accounts of biological productivity characteristics and estimates of carbon fluxes in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2005)The Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengalare tropical basins experiencing monsoonalwind forcing that reverses semiannually. This brings changes in physics, chemistry and biology of the upper water column on a seasonal scale ... -
DNA damage in male gonad cells of Green mussel (Perna viridis) upon exposure to tobacco products
(Springer, 2006)DNA damage (determined by the Comet Assay) and the occurrence of deformed nuclei were measured as endpoints of genotoxicity in male gonad cells of the marine mussel (Perna viridis). Upon exposure of the organism to varying ... -
A new criterion for identifying breaks in monsoon conditions over the Indian subcontinent
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)The presence or absence of prolonged breaks over the Indian subcontinent during the mid monsoon months of July and August decides the fate of the monsoon rainfall. Using a new criterion for identifying the breaks, we have ... -

Run-up and inundation limits along southeast coast of India during the 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)The recent Indian Ocean Tsunami had a devastating effect on the Indian coastline. Apart from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Tamil Nadu coast was the most affected. Post-Tsunami survey was carried out during ... -
Need for science-policy linkages for river basins and coastal zone management: Meeting report

Can the possibility of some linkage of monsoonal precipitation with solar variability be ignored? Indications from foraminiferal proxy records
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Foraminiferal studies on a shallow water sediment core off Karwar, central west coast of India have revealed significant changes in the monsoonal precipitation during the last around 720 years. The results hint towards ... -
A portable marine geophysical data access and management system
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)The marine Geophysical Data Access and Management System (GPDAMS) is a portable software system designed for computerized storage, selective retrieval and management of marine geophysical data. It constitutes an integral ... -
An Indo-Arabian type of stone anchor from Kannur, Kerala,west coast of India
(Blackwell Synergy, 2005)A great deal of new evidence relating to maritime archaeology of India has come to lime light in the recent years, both from explorations and excavations. Among them the ancient stone anchors are the key to understand ... -
Ships on hero stones from the west coast of India
(Blackwell Synergy, 2006)Hero stones have been erected since early times to remember those who died in battle, and have been reported from various provinces of India. Most show land-battles, but those in the Archaeological Museum, Goa (India) and ... -
Study of high-resolution satellite geoid and gravity anomaly data over the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Geoid and gravity anomalies derived from satellite altimetry are gradually gaining importance in marine geo-scientific investigations. Very high-resolution gravity database generated from Seasat, Geosat GM, ERS-1 and ... -
Cellular-based sea level gauge
(The Hindu, 2006)The National Institute of Oceanography has developed a coastal sea-level monitoring system that can be accessed on the Internet. -
Climate induced changes in the circulation and dispersal patterns of the fluvial sources during late Quaternary in the middle Bengal Fan
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)From a transact along 15˚N latitude in the middle Bengal Fan, temporal and spatial variations in the granulometric parameters and clay minerals in 14C dated box cores from the eastern, the central and the western regions ... -
Formation of genotoxic nitroPAH compounds in fish exposed to ambient nitrite and PAH
(Oxford University Press, 2006)Mutagenic nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitroPAHs) have been known to arise in the environment through direct emissions from combustion sources and nitration of PAHs, primarily in the atmosphere. Here we report ...
