Observational evidence for westward propagation of temperature inversions in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
A warm pool forms in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) prior to the onset of the summer monsoon over India in early June; the core
of this warm pool is in the Lakshadweep Sea (LS). XBT and surface salinity data collected ...
Corroded planktic foraminifer (Globorotalia menardii) in the southern Bay of Bengal sediment trap sample of February 1992
(Geological Society of India, 2006)
Planktic foraminiferal studies from the southern Bay of Bengal (SBBT) indicate the presence of corroded specimens of Globorotalia menardii in the deep trap at a depth of 3011 m during February-March 1992. Strangely, all ...
Nutrient regimes and their effect on distribution of phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2008)
The seasonal dynamics of nutrient ratios and abundance of phytoplankton cells from the central (CB) and western (WB) Bay of Bengal (BOB) were studied during the fall intermonsoon (FIM; September-October 2002) and spring ...
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 ...
The monsoon currents in the north Indian Ocean
(Pergamon (Elsevier), 2002)
The monsoon currents are the seasonally reversing, open-ocean currents that flow between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the two wings of the north Indian Ocean. The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) flows eastward ...
18 Ka BP records of climatic changes, Bay of Bengal: Isotopic and sedimentological evidences
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)
Based upon the oxygen isotopic records of Globigerinoide sacculifer, the clay mineral assemblages and aridity indicator chlorite/illite (C/I) ratio, the palaeoclimatic changes during the past 18 Ka BP have been archived. ...
Diurnal variability of upper ocean temperature and heat budget in the southern Bay of Bengal during October-November, 1998 (BOBMEX-Pilot)
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)
Time-series data on upper-ocean temperature, Vessel-Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (VM-ADCP) measured currents and surface meteorological parameters have been obtained for the first time in the southern Bay of ...
Are eddies nature’s trigger to enhance biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal?
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
The Bay of Bengal is traditionally considered to be a less productive basin compared to the Arabian Sea. Despite the contrasting chlorophyll and primary productivity pattern, sediment trap data shows that annual fluxes of ...
Abundance and community structure of chaetognaths in the northern Indian Ocean
(The Plankton Society of Japan, 2002)
Abundance and community structure of chaetognaths in the northern Indian Ocean was investigated based on zooplankton samples collected during January to February 1990. Three types of sampling were done: from the upper ...
