(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)The present study provides information on weight- length relationship (WLR) and Fulton�s condition factor (K) of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) sampled from Palk Bay (PB) and Gulf of Mannar ... -
Weight-length relationship, morphometric and meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 (Syngnathiformes: Syngnathidae) from central west coast of India
(2019)Eighteen morphometric and five meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 inhabiting the coastal waters of Ratnagiri, central west coast of India, were studied. Morphometric/numerical analysis ... -
West India coastal current and Lakshadweep High/Low
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1998)The West India Coastal Current (WICC) flows northward during November-February and southward during April-September. At the time of formation of the northward (southward) phase of the current, a high (low) in sea level - ... -
Western Indian Ocean - A glimpse of the tectonic scenario
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The Western Indian Ocean is a veritable storehouse of diverse and complex tectonic features. Most of the knowledge about the major tectonic features of this area has emanated from the studies carried out with the geophysical ... -
Western Pacific Oceanic Heat Content: A Better Predictor of La Ni�a Than of El Ni�o
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)The western equatorial Pacific oceanic heat content (warm water volume in the west or WWVw) is the best El Ni�o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictor beyond 1-year lead. Using observations and selected Coupled Model ... -
Westward movement of eddies into the Gulf of Aden from the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)Sea level anomalies (SLA) from satellite altimetry (1993-2003) reveal the westward movement of mesoscale eddies in the Gulf of Aden. Inside the gulf the eddies move at a speed of approx. 6.0-8.5 cm s sup(-1), comparable ... -
Wet deposition of air pollution at southwest monsoon outbreak and its impact on groundwater resources of Greater Kochi region
(A.A. Balkema, 2003)The replenishable groundwater resources from natural recharge for Greater Kochi Region (GKR) is of low quantity and it suffer from salinity intrusion, with the level of ground water development at 21.02%. The wet deposition ... -
What Controls the Flushing Efficiency and Particle Transport Pathways in a Tropical Estuary? Cochin Estuary, Southwest Coast of India
(MDPI AG, 2020)Estuaries with poor flushing and longer residence time retain effluents and pollutants, ultimately resulting in eutrophication, a decline in biodiversity and, finally, deterioration of water quality. Cochin Estuary (CE), ... -
What do barnacle larvae feed on ? Implications in biofouling ecology
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)Barnacles are one of the dominant macrofouling organisms found in the intertidal region throughout the world. Among the different species of barnacles Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanus amphitrite) is a favoured candidate ... -
What drives nearshore sediment transport controls on the depletion of beach placers at Manavalakurichi, Southwest Coast of India?.
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)An in-depth analysis has been made to simulate hydrodynamic scenarios for understanding the nearshore sediment transport controls of placer mineral depletion at Manavalakurichi, India. From the analyses of topographic ... -
What drives the biological productivity of the northern Indian Ocean?
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)The northern Indian Ocean consists of two unique tropical basins: the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The Arabian Sea is one of the most highly productive regions of the world ocean, while the Bay of Bengal is a basin ... -
What drives the increased phytoplankton biomass in the Arabian Sea?
(Current Science Association, 2010)The seasonal variability of phytoplankton biomass in the Arabian Sea, though a well researched topic, its inter-annual variability is less explored and understood. Analysis of the satellite-derived chlorophyll pigment ... -
Why do satellite imageries show exceptionally high chlorophyll in the Gulf of mannar and the Palk bay during the norteast monsoon?.
(Springer, 2014)The Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB) are two least studied marine environments located between India and Sri Lanka. Exceptionally high chlorophyll a concentration in the GoM and the PB during the Northeast Monsoon ... -
Why is Bay of Bengal warmer than Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon?
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, India, 2004)The near-surface Bay of Bengal remains significantly warmer than the Arabian Sea during summer monsoon (June-September). Analysis of the heat budgets of the near-surface Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal shows significant ... -
Why is mean sea level along the Indian coast higher in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian Sea?
(Americal Geophysical Union, 2001)Levelling observations conducted during the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India (1858-1909) and subsequent observations showed that mean sea level along the coast of India is higher in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian ... -
Why is the Bay of Bengal experiencing a reduced rate of sea surface warming?
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2016)The sea surface temperature (SST) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the period 1960–1995 showed a decadal cycle, riding over a warming trend. The disruption of the decadal cycle was noticed post-1995 and was followed by a ... -
Why is the Bay of Bengal less productive during summer monsoon compared to the Arabian Sea?
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)The Bay of Bengal is traditionally considered to be a less productive basin compared to the Arabian Sea. We explore the reasons for this in the central Bay during summer when both are subjected to strong monsoon forcing. ... -
Why the Gulf of Mannar is a marine biological paradise?
(Springer, 2021)The Gulf of Mannar (GoM), located between India and Sri Lanka, has astonishing faunal richness and diversity. Two oceanographic data sets supplemented with satellite remote sensing observations are discussed here to show ... -
Why were cool SST anomalies absent in the Bay of Bengal during the 1997 Indian Ocean Dipole event?
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)The most important center of atmospheric convection associated with the Indian summer monsoon is located in the Bay of Bengal. This tendency was enhanced during the 1997 Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event and cool SST anomalies ... -
