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 ...
Effect of temperature, salinity and biofilm on the zoospores settlement of Enteromorpha flexuosa (Wulfen) J.Agardh
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2012)
The effect of temperature (10-30 degrees C), salinity (15-35 psu) and biofilm on the settlement of Enteromorpha flexousa zoospores was assessed. Settlement of zoospores was significantly (p less than 0.05) influenced by ...
Do cold, low salinity waters pass through the Indo-Sri Lanka Channel during winter?
(Taylor and Francis, 2011)
During winter, along the east coast of India, the near-surface flow is characterized by the southward-flowing East India Coastal Current (EICC) which bends around Sri Lanka and enters into the south-eastern Arabian Sea ...
Factors controlling the temporal and spatial variations in Synechococcus abundance in a monsoonal estuary
(Elsevier, 2013)
Temporal and spatial variations in Synechococcus abundance were investigated over an annual cycle (February`10–January`11) along a salinity gradient (0–35) in the tropical Zuari estuary, influenced by south-west monsoons. ...
Features at some significant estuaries of India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The river basins of India are classified into three groups on the basis of catchment areas: (1) above 20,000 km sup(2), (2) 2,000-20,000 km sup(2) and (3) less than 2,000 km sup(2). The total number of rivers under first ...
Estimation of flushing time in a monsoonal estuary using observational and numerical approaches
(Springer, 2012)
Estimation of flushing time (T sub(F)) in an estuary is important for water quality analysis, and it is one of the major transport time scales used in estuaries to quantify the hydrodynamic processes and for water resources ...
Salinity-induced survival strategy of Vibrio cholerae associated with copepods in Cochin backwaters
(Elsevier, 2006)
The occurrence of Vibrio cholerae in water, sediment and copepods was studied over a wide range of salinity using conventional and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques in the Cochin backwaters. V. cholerae occurred ...
Resolving orographic rainfall on the Indian west coast
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2008)
We discuss a method to obtain the spatial estimates of rainfall on the Indian west coast for calculating the surface water budget. The region includes the basin of the Mandovi River, a typical west-coast river whose catchment ...
Natural isotopic composition of nitrogen in suspended particulate matter in the Bay of Bengal
(The European Geosciences Union, 2004)
The first measurements of nitrogen isotopic composition (delta sup(15) N) in suspended particulate matter (SPM) of the surface Bay of Bengal (BOB) at 24 different locations during pre- (April-May 2003) and post- ...
Salt intrusion study in Cochin estuary - Using empirical models
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
Intensive measurements of salt intrusion are taken at high and low waters during spring and neap tide for each month respectively from June 2007 to May 2008. Salt intrusion length at high water varied from 10 km in monsoon ...
