Eddy-mediated biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal during fall and spring intermonsoons
(Elsevier, 2007)
The signature of cold-core eddies and their role in altering the biological productivity of the Bay of Bengal was examined using two recent sets of hydrographic data collected along the central and western Bay of Bengal ...
Mudbanks and fisheries along the Kerala coast-myth and reality
(Current Science Association & Indian Academy of Sciences, 2018)
Mudbanks, a unique coastal oceanographic phenomenon occurring along the southwest (SW) coast of India during the SW monsoon season, are synonymous with the fishery of this region. Here we examine the validity of the popular ...
Is the biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal light limited?
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Recent measurements of chlorophyll, primary productivity (PP) and nutrients along the central Bay of Bengal (BOB) during summer, fall and spring intermonsoons showed that the northern bay becomes less productive compared ...
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 ...
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 ...
Influence of environmental forcings on the seasonality of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the Bay of Bengal
(Yale University, 2007)
Studies on seasonal variability of oxygen and nutrients during three seasons namely SW monsoon, fall intermonsoon and spring intermonsoon indicate influence of physical forcings on the distribution of these hydrochemical ...
Environmental controls on the seasonal carbon dioxide fluxes in the northeastern Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Total carbon dioxide (TCO sub(2)) and computations of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO sub(2)) had been examined in Northerneastern region of Indian Ocean. It exhibit seasonal and spatial variability. North-south ...
Bay of Bengal Process Studies (BOBPS) Final Report
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, 2007)
The Bay of Bengal Process Studies (BOBPS) was conceived in early 1997 as a sequel to the JGOFS (Joint Global Ocean Flux Study) India - Arabian Sea Process Study. Soon after the completion of the JGOFS field experiments ...
Seasonal cycle of physical forcing and biological response in the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Seasonal cycle of the physical processes and the biological response in the Bay of Bengal were studied using co-located physical, chemical and biological data collected along the central and the western Bay covering four ...
