Increased particle flux to the deep ocean related to monsoons
(Nature Publishing Group, 1989)
Monsoons cause seasonal reversals in the surface circulation of the northern Indian Ocean. In the Arabian Sea this results in the upwelling of nutrient-rich water along the coasts, making it one of the highly productive ...
Characteristics of monsoon waves off Uran, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Waves were measured off Uran in the Dharamtar creek (lat. 18 degrees 50 minutes and long. 72 degrees 55 minutes) during monsoon months from 26 June to 20 September 1984 using a Datawell wave rider buoy. The wave records ...
Hydrography of the Wadge bank - premonsoon and monsoon seasons
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1989)
The hydrography of the Wadge Bank during premonsoon and monsoon seasons is presented. The thermocline slopes downward towards the central region. Upwelling is prominent in the entire region during monsoon and is observed ...
Seasonal patterns of phytoplankton biomass and productivity in a tropical estuarine complex (west coast of India)
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1989)
Phytoplankton cell numbers and chlorophyll a determinations were made during the premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon periods in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex (west coast of India). Primary productivity estimates ...
Meteorological results of monsoon-88 Expedition (pre-monsoon period)
(Kluwer, 1989)
Mean atmospheric circulation, moisture budget and net heat exchange were studied during a pre-monsoon period (18th March to 3rd May, 1988), making use of the data collected on board "Akademik Korolev" in the central ...
Determination of petroleum hydrocarbons in sediment samples from Bombay harbour, Dharamtar creek and Amba river estuary
(Scientific Publishers, 1989)
The surface sediment samples were collected by van Veen grab sampler during premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon seasons from Bombay harbour, Dharamtar creek and Amba river estuary Moisture content of the samples ranges ...
Temporal and spatial variations in particulate matter, particulate organic carbon and attenuation coefficient in Cochin Backwaters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Nine stations over a stretch of 21 km of Periyar river estuary were sampled during January to December 1981. Particulate matter varied from 3-253 mg.1 super(1) at the surface and 24.8-257mg.1 super(1) at the bottom. ...
Wind stress, curl and vertical velocity in the Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon, 1984
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Wind distribution observed during southwest monsoon of 1984 has used to derive the mean wind stress for the season at every 1 degree square grid and curl over the Bay of Bengal. Two regions of maximum wind stress are present ...
Evaporation over the Arabian Sea during two contrasting monsoons
(Springer, 1989)
Monthly mean surface fields of different meteorological parameters and evaporation are studied for the 1979 (poor monsoon) and 1983 (good monsoon) monsoon seasons over the Arabian Sea, in order to understand the role of ...
Particulate organic matter in shelf waters of Prinsesse Asrid Kyst, Antarctica
(Cambridge University Press, 1989)
In the coastal and estuarine waters of Goa, particulate organic carbon (POC) varied from 0.52 to 2.51 mg l-1 and from 0.28 to 5.24 mg l-1 and particulate phosphorus (PP) varied from 0.71 to 5.18 mu g l-1 and from 0.78 to ...
