Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in commercially important marine fishes from Mumbai Harbor, India.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Seventeen commercially important marine fish species were caught in Mumbai Harbor using a trawl net and evaluated using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and ICP-OES. It was found that certain species of fish contained lower ...
Life cycle of eddies along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal and their implications
(Elsevier, 2012)
Analysis of vertical thermohaline structure along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal revealed many undulations during April–May 2003. A prominent feature noticed was a dome in the northwestern boundary of the Bay ...
Quantitative characteristics of the Indian Ocean seafloor relief using fractal dimension
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)
In this paper spectral technique has been applied for seafioor topographic data analyses from three seafioor provinces of the Indian Ocean. Study sites include West of the Andaman Island (WAT), Western Continental Margins ...
Observational Evidence of Summer Shamal Swells along the West Coast of India
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)
Wave data collected off Ratnagiri, West coast of India, in 2010 and 2011 are used to examine the presence of the summer shamal swells. This study also aims to understand variations in wave characteristics and associated ...
An interactive software package for validating satellite data
(Universidad de Concepcion, 2004)
Earth observation satellite launched in the last three decades have made vital contributions to the understanding of the planet. The earth system consisting of land, oceans and atmosphere is linked together by a number of ...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and alkaline phosphatase activity in coastal waters off Trivandrum
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphorus is a key nutrient in marine environment. Phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB) have the ability to solubilise ionic forms of orthophosphoric acid to free form of phosphrous in the water column. Both PSB and ...
Corroded planktic foraminifer (Globorotalia menardii) in the southern Bay of Bengal sediment trap sample of February 1992
(Geological Society of India, 2006)
Planktic foraminiferal studies from the southern Bay of Bengal (SBBT) indicate the presence of corroded specimens of Globorotalia menardii in the deep trap at a depth of 3011 m during February-March 1992. Strangely, all ...
Impact of sea breeze on the wind-seas off Goa, west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
After withdrawal of the Indian Summer Monsoon and until onset of the next monsoon, i.e. roughly during November-May, winds in the coastal region of India are dominated by sea breeze. It has an impact on the daily cycle of ...
Interplay of diverse environmental settings and their influence on the plankton community off Myanmar during the spring intermonsoon.
(Elsevier, 2014)
The northern Andaman Sea including the Myanmar waters is one of the least studied regions of the northern Indian Ocean. The freshwater and suspended sediments carried by Ayeyawady/Irrawaddy, the peculiar surface circulation, ...
Can bathymetry be a discriminatory factor for the distribution of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups in modern marine sediments?
(ONGC, India, 2000)
The foraminiferal content of one hundred eight modern marine sediment samples off Vengurla-Cochin sector (ranging in water depth from 30 to 1330 m). West Coast of India was studied. A total of two hundred four foraminiferal ...
