    • Evidence for the existence of Persian Gulf water and Red Sea water in the Bay of Bengal 

      Jain, V.; Shankar, D.; Vinayachandran, P.N.; Kankonkar, A.; Chatterjee, A.; Amol, P.; Almeida, A.M.; Michael, G.S.; Mukherjee, A.; Chatterjee, M.; Fernandes, R.; Luis, R.; Kamble, A.; Hegde, A.; Chatterjee, S.; Das, U.; Neema, C.P. (Springer, 2017)
      The high-salinity water masses that originate in the North Indian Ocean are Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW), Persian Gulf Water (PGW), and Red Sea Water (RSW). Among them, only ASHSW has been shown to exist in the ...
    • Numerical model for wind-driven circulation in the Bay of Bengal 

      Bahulayan, N.; Varadachari, V.V.R. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
      Wind-driven circulation in the Bay of Bengal, generated by a southwest wind of constant speed (10 m.sec -1) and direction (225 degrees TN), is presented. A non-linear hydrodynamic model is used for the simulation of ...
    • Observational evidence for westward propagation of temperature inversions in the southeastern Arabian Sea 

      Shankar, D.; Gopalakrishna, V.V.; Shenoi, S.S.C.; Durand, F.; Shetye, S.R.; Rajan, C.K.; Johnson, Z.; Araligidad, N.; Michael, G.S. (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 ...
    • On the sea surface temperature high in the Lakshadweep Sea before the onset of the southwest monsoon 

      Shenoi, S.S.C.; Shankar, D.; Shetye, S.R. (American Geophysical Union, 1999)
      The north Indian Ocean becomes the warmest area of the world oceans prior to the onset of southwest monsoon in June. During this period a zonal band of high sea surface temperature (SST), the ``thermal equator'' (TE), moves ...
    • Seasonal cycle of sea level and currents along the coast of India 

      Shankar, D. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)
      A framework involving long baroclinic waves, which treats the north Indian Ocean as a single dynamical entity, has been remarkably successful in simulating the low-frequency, large-scale circulation in the ocean. It is, ...
    • The monsoon currents in the north Indian Ocean 

      Shankar, D.; Vinayachandran, P.N.; Unnikrishnan, A.S. (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 ...
