BOBMEX: The Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)
The first observational experiment under the Indian Climate Research Programme, called the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX), was carried out during July-August 1999. BOBMEX was aimed at measurements of important ...
Early Pliocene paleoceanography of the Vityaz Fracture Zone (VFZ), Central Indian Ridge
(Geological Society of China, 2007)
Planktic foraminifera from the calcareous substrate of a ferromanganese crust in the Vityaz Fracture Zone (VFZ), Central Indian Ridge were studied to reconstruct the early Pliocene paleoceanography of this region. Eleven ...
Observations of barrier layer formation in the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
Time series of temperature and salinity in the upper ocean, measured at 17 degrees 30'N, 89 degrees E in the northern Bay of Bengal, from 27 July to 6 August 1999 captured an event of upper layer freshening. Initially, the ...
Studies on thermal fields in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Geological Congress, Roorkee, India, 2000)
As an Indian component of the International Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, the National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, has initiated a long-term observational program during 1990 with financial support ...
Geochemistry of sediments
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Considering the potential of elemental data in marine sediments as diagnostic tools of various geological and oceanographic processes, sediment geochemical data from the Indian Ocean region has been reviewed in this article. ...
Geochemistry of surficial sediments along the central southwest coast of India - Seasonal changes in regional distribution
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2003)
The coastal sediments (129 samples) of central- southwest coast of India, in and around Cochin, the second biggest industrial city along the west coast of India, were analyzed for their textural and geochemical fractions ...
Warm pool thermodynamics from the Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX)
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
Before the onset of the south Asian summer monsoon, sea surface temperature (SST) of the north Indian Ocean warms to 30-32 degrees C. Climatological mean mixed layer depth in spring (March-May) is 10-20 m, and net surface ...
Sediment dispersal during ne monsoon over northern Bay of Bengal: Preliminary results using IRS-P4 OCM data
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
False Color Composite (FCC) from the sequential satellite images of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite IRS-P4 OCM (bands around 443, 555, and 845 nm) together with sea truth data acquisition at 42 stations along the Orissa ...
Pyloniid stratigraphy - A new tool to date tropical radiolarian ooze from the central tropical Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2002)
Pyloniid stratigraphy, a faunal abundance-variation stratigraphic tool, similar to Cycladophora davisiana stratigraphy employed at high latitudes, is found to work well for tropical radiolarian ooze. The relationship between ...
Wind-driven estuarine turbidity maxima in Mandovi Estuary, central west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2009)
Systematic studies on the suspended particulate matter (SPM) measured on a seasonal cycle in the Mandovi Estuary, Goa indicate that the average concentrations of SPM at the regular station are approx. 20mg/l, 5mg/l, 19mg/l ...
