The carbon budget of South Asia
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
The source and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) and methane (CH sub(4)) due to anthropogenic and natural biospheric activities were estimated for the South Asian region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and ...
Perennial occurrence of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic bacteria in the coastal Bay of Bengal (off Visakhapatnam) - Impact of physical and atmospheric processes
(Elsevier, 2018)
In order to examine the health of the coastal waters off Visakhapatnam in terms of prevalence and abundance of heterotrophic (H), indicator and pathogenic (P) bacterial counts (BC) and influence of physical processes on ...
Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in suspended matter and sediments from the Godavari estuary
(Springer, 2012)
Spatial distribution of the carbon and nitrogen content and their isotopic enrichment in suspended matter and sediments were measured in the Godavari estuary to identify the sources and transformation mechanism of organic ...
Distribution of biochemical constituents in the surface sediments of western coastal Bay of Bengal: Influence of river discharge and water column properties
(Springer, 2013)
Biochemical composition of surface sediment samples from off major and minor rivers along the east coast of India revealed that spatial distribution of sediment organic carbon (SOC) composition was mainly governed by ...
Contribution of tropical cyclones to the air-sea CO2 flux: A global view
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)
Previous case studies have illustrated the strong local influence of tropical cyclones (TCs) on CO sub(2) air-sea flux (F sub(CO2)), suggesting that they can significantly contribute to the global F sub(CO2). In this study, ...
Influence of atmospheric dry deposition of inorganic nutrients on phytoplankton biomass in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)
The aerosols from continents contain relatively higher amounts of inorganic nutrients than those of marine origin and can make a notable contribution to the coastal biological productivity. To test this hypothesis, the ...
Variations in the inorganic carbon components in the thermal fronts during winter in the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
In order to examine the variations in inorganic carbon components in the thermal fronts, seven fronts have been sampled in the northeastern Arabian Sea during winter. The sea surface temperature (SST) was cooler by 0.2 to ...
Sources and sinks of CO2 in the west coast of Bay of Bengal
(International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm, 2012)
Observations at high spatial resolution (100 x 50 km sup(2)) in the western continental shelf of Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon, when peak discharge occurs into the Bay through major rivers of the Indian subcontinent, ...
Contrasting phytoplankton community structure and associated light absorption characteristics of the western Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2014)
Absorption spectra, particulate pigments, and hydrochemical constituents were measured in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB) during July-August 2010 when influence of river discharge is at peak. Chromophoric dissolved organic ...
Shallow convective mixing promotes massive Noctiluca scintillans bloom in the northeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2019)
The northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) experiences convective mixing during winter, but this mixing does not reach up to the silicicline, resulting in the limited supply of silicate (Si) compared to nitrate (N) and phosphate ...
