Characteristics of shallow water waves off the central west coast of India before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)
We studied the wave characteristics before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon based on data measured using the buoy moored at 3 locations off the central west coast of India. The study reveals the ...
Evaluation of the influence of monsoon climatology on dispersal and sequestration of continental flux over the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Associated with the coupled land–ocean heating–cooling, seasonal reversal of monsoon winds regulates hydrography, precipitation, upwelling, fluvial influx and a host of biogeochemical processes. We evaluate the role of the ...
Trends of wave height and period in the Central Arabian Sea from 1996 to 2012: A study based on satellite altimeter data
(Elsevier, 2015)
The variability of annual maximum and annual mean significant wave height (SWH) and wave period in the Central Arabian Sea is studied using satellite altimeter data from 1996 to 2012 at a deep water (water depth~3500 m) ...
Climate Induced Vegetational Evolution: Palynological and Thecamoebian Study from Coastal Archaeological Sites, Saurashtra
(Agam Kala Prakashan, New Delhi, 2015)
Coastal archaeological sites serve as potential archive of past climate-culture and vegetation relationship responding to relative sea level changes. Most of the Harappan dwellers along the coastal region largely depended ...
δ<sup>18</sup>O and salinity variability from the last glacial maximum to recent in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Oxygen isotopes of surface, thermocline and bottom dwelling foraminifera were analysed from two well-dated Andaman Sea cores and combined with nine previously published records from the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Andaman Sea ...
Cyclone and monsoonal wave characteristics of northwestern Bay of Bengal: long-term observations and modeling
(Springer, 2016)
Long-term wave data play a crucial role in arriving the wave criteria for ports and harbors and shore protection structures. Seasonal and annual wave characteristics are studied based on wave data collected for the year ...
Effect of monsoonal perturbations on the occurrence of phytoplankton blooms in a tropical bay
(Inter-Research, 2015)
In this study, the influence of intraseasonal variations in rainfall and the resultant freshwater flux (monsoon perturbations) on phytoplankton bloom dynamics were evaluated by quantifying live phytoplankton at a fixed ...
Oxygen isotopic analyses of individual planktic foraminifera species: Implications for seasonality in the western Arabian Sea
(Copernicus Publications, 2014)
The variation of stable isotopes between individual shells of planktic foraminifera of a given species and size may provide short-term seasonal insight on Paleoceanography. In this context, oxygen isotope analyses of ...
Sea-level-rise trends off the Indian coasts during the last two decades
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present communication discusses sea-level-rise trends in the north Indian Ocean, particularly off the Indian coasts, based on estimates derived from satellite altimeter and tide-gauge data. Altimeter data analysis over ...
The abrupt onset of the modern South Asian monsoon winds
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2016)
The South Asian Monson (SAM) is one of the most intense climatic elements yet its initiation and variations are not well established. Dating the deposits of SAM wind-driven currents in IODP cores from the Maldives yields ...
