Comparative accounts of biological productivity characteristics and estimates of carbon fluxes in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2005)
The Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengalare tropical basins experiencing monsoonalwind forcing that reverses semiannually. This brings changes in physics, chemistry and biology of the upper water column on a seasonal scale ...
Abundance and relationship of bacteria with transparent exopolymer particles during the 1996 summer monsoon in the Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)
Bacterial abundance and production, numbers, sizes and concentrations of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and total organic carbon (TOC) were measured during the 1996 summer monsoon to understand the relationship ...
Are eddies nature’s trigger to enhance biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal?
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
The Bay of Bengal is traditionally considered to be a less productive basin compared to the Arabian Sea. Despite the contrasting chlorophyll and primary productivity pattern, sediment trap data shows that annual fluxes of ...
Carbon budget in the eastern and central Arabian Sea: An Indian JGOFS synthesis
(American Geophysical Union, 2003)
The carbon budget for the eastern and central Arabian Sea was constructed using results from the Modular Ocean Model and biogeochemical data collected largely under the Indian Joint Global Ocean Flux Study programme. The ...
Why is the Bay of Bengal less productive during summer monsoon compared to the Arabian Sea?
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
The Bay of Bengal is traditionally considered to be a less productive basin compared to the Arabian Sea. We explore the reasons for this in the central Bay during summer when both are subjected to strong monsoon forcing. ...
Physical forcing of biological productivity in the northern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Pergamon, 2001)
Time-series observations at a nominally fixed location in the northern Arabian Sea (21 degrees N, 64 degrees E) during the Northeast Monsoon (winter, February) of 1997 showed the prevalence of cold sea-surface temperatures ...
Biogeochemistry of the Bay of Bengal: Physical, chemical and primary productivity characteristics of the central and western Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon 2001
(Elsevier, 2003)
Reliable data on biological characteristics from the Bay of Bengal are elusive. In this paper, we present results on physics, chemistry and biology simultaneously measured during the summer monsoon, 2001 from open ocean ...
Seasonal variations in carbon biomass of bacteria, thraustochytrids and microzooplankton in the northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2005)
As a part of the JGOFS-India Programme, abundance of heterotrophic bacteria (Hbac; 0-2000 m), thraustochytrids (0-2000 m), microzooplankton (0-200m occasionally up to 300 m) as well as bacterial growth rates (0-500 m) were ...
