A 27,000 year record of Red Sea outflow: Implication for timing of post-glacial monsoon intensification
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)
The history of the Red Sea Outflow (RSO) over the past 27,000 years from an AMS sup(14) C-dated high-resolution Delta sup(13) C record of benthic foraminifera from the inner Gulf of Aden assuming the dominance of circulation ...
T-S variability and volume transport in the central Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
The variability of temperature and salinity along 11 degrees N and 12 degrees N sections in the Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon months (July-September) was found to be large in the upper 200 m west of 83 degrees E ...
On the possible causes of the seasonal phytoplankton blooms along the southwest coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
Data collected off the southwest coast of India at the onset of the 1987 southwest monsoon season suggest that the commonly observed high concentrations of chlorophyll and rates of photosynthesis of the season may not be ...
A sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in the northeast Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)
Intensive observations in the northeast Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal) during the pre-southwest and northeast monsoon seasons 1991 reveal that freshwater discharge from rivers of the Indian subcontinent exerts the dominant ...
Zooplankton ecology in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine system of Goa, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
Seasonal variability in the physico-chemical features, zooplankton standing stock (biomass) and faunal composition in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine system of Goa, India, during January to December 1990 were studied. ...
Physical oceanography of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
(George Allen and Unwin. London, UK, 1996)
Physical oceanography of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea is reviewed for the first time. All available information for over 50 years is consolidated in this review. To begin with, information on peripheral or related ...
Environmental changes associated with monsoon induced upwelling, off central west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
Coastal upwelling of nutrients during and after the southwest monsoon has been considered to support rich pelagic and demersal fisheries off the west coast of India. Studies indicate occurrence of coastal upwelling assoicated ...
Forcing mechanisms of the Bay of Bengal circulation
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
A state-of-the-art ocean general circulation model, set up for the North Indian Ocean and driven by climatological wind stress simulates most of the observed features of the near-surface circulation of the Bay of Bengal. ...
Coupling between SW monsoon-related surface and deep ocean processes as discerned from continuous particle flux measurements and correlated satellite data
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)
Particle flux data obtained by time series sediment traps deployed at water depths of approximately 3000 m in the western, central, and eastern Arabian Sea since 1986 were compared with wind speeds derived from measurements ...
Hydrography and circulation in the western Bay of Bengal during the northeast monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)
The Bay of Bengal, a semienclosed tropical basin that comes under the influence of monsoonal wind and freshwater influx, is distinguished by a strongly stratified surface layer and a seasonally reversing circulation. We ...
