Residual fluxes of salt and water in the Azhikode estuary, west coast of India
(1992)Monthly synoptic measurements of current speed, direction, salinity and temperature were made at three sections in the Azhikode Estuary, Kerala, India, for a period of one year. The observations were extended over a complete ... -

Water and salt budget in the Azikode estuary during postmonsoon season
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)Computed values of flux showed that seaward Eulerian residual flow of water was the major factor influencing the salt and water budget in the Azikode Estuary. Depth integrated residual flow was seaward at all depths. ... -
Dynamics of circulation and salt balance in the upper reaches of Periyar river estuary
(Kerala: State Committee on Science, Technology and Environment, 1987)The Eulerian residual currents of the upper reaches of Periyar estuary (Kerala, India) were directed down the estuary throughout the water column during the monsoon season. During the summer months the residual flow was ... -
Hydrographic characteristics of central Bay of Bengal waters during southwest monsoon of 1983
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)During cruises 120 and 124 of R V Gaveshani two sections, viz. Visakhapatnam - Port Blair and Madras - Port Blair, in Bay of Bengal have been covered twice. The sea surface temperature (SST) shows a decrease of about 2 ... -
A low cost data logging system with satellite transmission capabilities
(Washington D.C.: Marine Technology Society, 1986)The concept of updating a shore based data bank by regular satellite transmissions of data collected at sea has important uses in programmes on the exploration and survey of sea bed mineral sites. In this context, the need ... -
Status and prospects of fish farming in Goa
(1984)In Goa, India, aquaculture is being practised from time immemorial. The methods of fish culture used are traditional and involve composite culture of wild stocks. Despite the ignorance of modern methods of aquaculture, the ... -
Ecology of intertidal benthic algae of Northern Karnataka coast
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)The intertidal benthic marine algal flora has been studied for distribution, phenology, biomass and zonation along with the environmental conditions. About 65 species belonging to 42 genera of Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta have ... -
Determination of organochlorine pesticides in Indian coastal water using a moored in situ sampler
(Elsevier, 1989)Residues if various organochlorine pesticides were determined in the water off the central west coast of India using an in situ sampler. Y-BHC and the two cyclodiene compounds, Aldrine and Dieldrin were found to be more ... -
Neuston composition in central Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)Composition of neuston in the Arabian Sea (lat. 16-19 degrees N., long. 60-72 degrees E) was studied. The standing stock ranged between 1.5 and 49.3 ml (100 m2)-1. Copepoda was generally the dominant group, forming on ... -
The environmental characteristics of the Ganga estuary
(Sea Explorers Institute, 1989)This report presents physical, chemical and biological observations in the last 160 km stretch of river Ganga for period of 3 years. In the one-layer estuary the mixing is brought about by the horizontal gradient of the ... -
Variability of mixed layer depth in the northern Indian Ocean during 1977 and 1979 summer monsoon seasons
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)Influences of wind stress (tau) and wind stress curl (Grad Gamma) on the short term variability of the mixed layer depth at different locations in the northern Indian Ocean during different phases of summer monsoon activity ... -
DDT residues in sediments from the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 1988)DDT is one of the organochlorine compounds characterised by its stability for long periods in the environment leading to marked changes in the aquatic ecosystem. This work aims to assess the prevailing levels of DDT and ...
