Observations of barrier layer formation in the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
Time series of temperature and salinity in the upper ocean, measured at 17 degrees 30'N, 89 degrees E in the northern Bay of Bengal, from 27 July to 6 August 1999 captured an event of upper layer freshening. Initially, the ...
Pyloniid stratigraphy - A new tool to date tropical radiolarian ooze from the central tropical Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2002)
Pyloniid stratigraphy, a faunal abundance-variation stratigraphic tool, similar to Cycladophora davisiana stratigraphy employed at high latitudes, is found to work well for tropical radiolarian ooze. The relationship between ...
Carbon cycling in the northern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon: Significance of salps
(Inter-Research, 2002)
Winter cooling and mixing brings nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) to the surface waters over large parts of the northern Arabian Sea, but the rates of primary production as well as carbon export from the euphotic zone are ...
Radiolarian fluxes from the southern Bay of Bengal: sediment trap results
(Pergamon, 2002)
A study of radiolarian fluxes collected during 1991-93 from time-series sediment traps deployed at 1071 and 3010 m water depth in the southern Bay of Bengal (SBBT) yielded 40 species/groups of radiolarians. Among the order ...
Analysis of freshwater flux climatology over the Indian Ocean using the HOAPS data
(Elsevier, 2002)
Estimation of freshwater flux over a certain region is very difficult, as it needs both accurate evaporation and precipitation rates over the study area. Over the Indian Ocean (IO), the precipitation estimates are totally ...
Upper ocean stratification and circulation in the northern Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon of 1991
(Pergamon, 2002)
During the southwest monsoon (July) of 1991 a large plume (300 x 250 km sup(2)) of warm (greater than 29 degrees C) and less saline (less than 29 PSU) water is noticed in the top 30 m to the east of 87.5 degrees E in the ...
Sedimentation
(JGOFS International Project Office, University of Bergen, Norway, 2002)
The Monsoonal impact on the deep ocean fluxes, organic carbon export into the ocean's interior, and the difference between the deep-sea organic carbon fluxes and sedimentary organic carbon burial rates in the Arabian Sea ...
Analysis of sup(210)Pb in sediment trap samples and sediments from the northern Arabian Sea: Evidence for boundary scavenging
(Pergamon, 2002)
The concentrations of sup(210)Pb were measured in particles intercepted by sediment traps deployed at 1024 m and 3024 m in the northern Arabian Sea for a period of 1 year from November 1986 to October 1987. The sup(210)Pb ...
Spatial distribution of upwelling off the central east coast of India
(Academic Press, 2002)
The spatial distribution of upwelling along the central east coast of India (13 degrees-18 degrees N) in the premonsoon and south-west monsoon seasons is described using data collected during cruises 193 (13-28 March 1988) ...
Monsoon oscillations of the Findlater Jet and coastal winds of India
(PORSEC 2002 Secretariat; Bogor; Indonesia, 2002)
Intraseasonal variability (ISV) of the Low Level Jet (LLJ) and its effects on coastal winds during the Indian summer monsoon are examined using National Centre for Environmental Prediction / National Centre for Atmospheric ...
