Phytoplankton response to the contrasting physical regimes in the eastern Arabian Sea during north east monsoon
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phytoplankton abundance and composition in two contrasting physical regimes - convective mixing in the northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) and Arabian Sea mini warm pool (ASMWP) in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) - were ...
Time Series Observations in the North Indian Ocean
(IMBER, 2011)
Unlike the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, the northern Indian Ocean is geographically unique. The bounding to the north by the Asian landmass has a profound impact on the biogeochemistry of the region. The Arabian Sea ...
Dissolved methane in Indian freshwater reservoirs
(Springer, 2013)
Emission of methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, from tropical reservoirs is of interest because such reservoirs experience conducive conditions for CH4 production through anaerobic microbial activities. It has been ...
Benthic mineralization and nutrient exchange over the inner continental shelf of western India.
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)
The western Indian continental shelf is one of the most productive coastal systems of the world ocean. This system experiences extreme changes in its oxygen regime, being normoxic from November to May and suboxic ...
Spatial variability in phytoplankton community structure along the eastern Arabian Sea during the onset of south-west monsoon
(Elsevier, 2016)
The Arabian Sea experiences moderate to weak upwelling along the south-west coast of India, which subsequently propagates towards the north. This causes variation in plankton community composition, which is addressed in ...
Isotopic composition of nitrate and particulate organic matter in a pristine dam reservoir of western India: Implications for biogeochemical processes
(European Geosciences Union, 2017)
Isotopic composition of nitrate (δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>18</sup>O) and particulate organic matter (POM; δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>13</sup>C) were measured in the Tillari Reservoir, located at the ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
Nitrogen fixation rates in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The Arabian Sea experiences bloom of the diazotroph Trichodesmium during certain times of the year when optimal sea surface temperature and oligotrophic condition favour their growth. We measured nitrogen fixation rates ...
Methane stimulates massive nitrogen loss from freshwater reservoirs in India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
The fate of the enormous amount of reactive nitrogen released to the environment by human activities in India is unknown. Here we show occurrence of seasonal stratification and generally low concentrations of dissolved ...
Methane dynamics in the shelf waters of the West coast of India during seasonal anoxia
(Elsevier, 2018)
The Western Continental Shelf of India experiences water-column anoxia during late summer/early autumn, thereby providing conducive conditions for methane (CH4) accumulation. Measurements of CH4 along with other ancillary ...
