Measuring the monsoon
(Reed Business Information Ltd., 1992)
Monsoons are familiar elements of tropical life, bringing rain to the crops that feed millions. The effects do not stop there, in the Arabian Sea, the twice-yearly monsoon winds enrich the fishing grounds, as well as setting ...
Lithogenic fluxes in the Bay of Bengal measured by sediment traps
(Pergamon, 1997)
Seasonality and interannual variability of particle-fluxes to the deep Arabian Sea
(Pergamon, 1993)
Long-term sediment trap studies have been carried out since 1986 at three locations in the western, central and eastern Arabian Sea. Total and bulk component fluxes measured for 3 years at the central station and for 4 ...
Lithogenic fluxes to the deep Arabian Sea measurEd. by sediment traps
(Pergamon, 1991)
Particle fluxes measured continuously for one year at three locations in the Arabian Sea using time-series sediment traps show that lithogenic sedimentation processes are strongly coupled to biological processes. The ...
Increased particle flux to the deep ocean related to monsoons
(Nature Publishing Group, 1989)
Monsoons cause seasonal reversals in the surface circulation of the northern Indian Ocean. In the Arabian Sea this results in the upwelling of nutrient-rich water along the coasts, making it one of the highly productive ...
Lack of cross-shelf transport of sediments on the western margin of India: Evidence from clay mineralogy
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1989)
The distribution of clay minerals on the inner shelf, outer shelf and in a 6 month sediment trap on the western continental shelf of India has been studied. Marked compositional differences in the inner shelf clays ...
Fluxes of amino acids and hexosamines to the deep Arabian sea
(Elsevier, 1992)
Results of organic carbon, total nitrogen, amino acid and hexosamine of samples collected during time-series sediment trap in investigations in the Arabian Sea are presented. Samples were taken over a period of 1 1/2 years ...
Fluxes of material in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal - Sediment trap studies
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1994)
In order to investigate how monsoons influence biogeochemical fluxes in the ocean, twelve time-series sediment traps were deployed at six locations in the northern Indian Ocean. In this paper we present particle flux data ...
Enhanced particle fluxes in Bay of Bengal inducEd. by injection of freshwater
(Macmillan, 1991)
The melting of ice sheets during deglaciation results in the injection of large amounts of fresh water into the oceans. To investigate how such injections might influence particle fluxes in the ocean, and hence the uptake ...
Organic carbon removal in the sea: the continental connection
(Geological Society of London, 1992)
Time series sediment traps have been deployed since May 1986 in the Arabian Sea and since October 1987 in the Bay of Bengal. The results of one and a half years from the western, central, and eastern Arabian Sea and of one ...
