Particulate trace metals in Cochin backwaters: Distribution of seasonal indices
(ICAR, 1998)
A seasonal analysis of particulate trace metals, viz. iron, manganese, zinc, copper, cobalt and nickel collected from 4 stations in Cochin backwaters are presented. The spatial trend for cobalt, iron and nickel was stationary ...
Seasonal changes of the sediment size distribution and stability along the beaches of Kerala, south west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
Mean grain size distribution under different environmental conditions along the coast of Kerala showed considerable spatial variation (0.14-0.96 mm). Standard deviation values indicated a very well sorted class along all ...
Spatial and temporal variations of carbonate content in the beach and nearshore environments off Goa, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Sediment samples collected from dunes, beaches (Calangute, Baina and Colva) and nearshore environments along the coast of Goa, have been analysed for their carbonate content. The results show the presence of very high ...
Biological productivity and potential resources of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of India
(Fishery Survey of India, 2004)
An assessment of the biological production and the potential fishery resources has been made based on the data collected over a period of 15 years (1976-1991). The entire Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), measuring 2.02 million ...
Diatoms of the microphytobenthic community in a tropical intertidal sand flat influenced by monsoons: Spatial and temporal variations
(Springer, 2006)
Seasonal variations in the microphytobenthic diatom community were investigated in an intertidal sand flat of a tropical marine environment influenced by monsoons. Cores of sediments were collected along the beach gradient: ...
Arabian Sea oceanography and fisheries
(Fishery Survey of India, 2004)
The physical and chemical forcing which drive the Arabian production is now fairly well understood. The main attributes, which contribute to the productivity are (1) the boundary processes which manifest as upwelling during ...
Seasonal and spatial variability in N sub(2)O distribution in the Arabian Sea
(Pergamon, 1999)
Extensive measurements of nitrous oxide (N sub(2)O) were made in the central and eastern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon (February-March), intermonsoon (April-May) and southwest monsoon (July-August) seasons. The ...
Seasonal variation of sea surface temperature in the Bay of Bengal during 1992 as derived from NOAA-AVHRR SST data
(Taylor and Francis, 1998)
Monthly maps of sea surface temperature (SST) derived for NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)-AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) data during 1992 for the Bay of Bengal are analysed and ...
Benthic Studies in Goa Estuaries. Part 3. Annual Cycle of Macrofaunal Distribution, Production and Trophic Relations
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ...
Seasonal and spatial variations in settling manganese fluxes in the northern Arabian Sea
(Pergamon, 1999)
Particulate manganese (Mn) fluxes measured with six time series sediment traps showed that the annual settling fluxes were 3-6 times higher in the west compared to those in the east and central Arabian Sea. Annual detrital ...
