Thermal structure of the Western Indian Ocean during the southwest monsoon, 1983
(Ifremer/ CNRS/ IRD/ Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves, 1993)
The thermal structure and the variability of heat content of the upper 400 m of the Western Indian Ocean were examined using the expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data collected onboard RV Sagar Kanya during July-August, ...
On the dynamics of the Lakshadweep high and low in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 1997)
Hydrography and altimetry show that a "high" in surface topography forms off southwest India in January (midnortheast monsoon) and that a "low" forms during the southwest monsoon; the high and low, called Lakshadweep high ...
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 ...
Increased particle flux to the deep ocean related to monsoons
(Nature Publishing Group, 1989)
Monsoons cause seasonal reversals in the surface circulation of the northern Indian Ocean. In the Arabian Sea this results in the upwelling of nutrient-rich water along the coasts, making it one of the highly productive ...
Hydrography of the Wadge bank - premonsoon and monsoon seasons
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1989)
The hydrography of the Wadge Bank during premonsoon and monsoon seasons is presented. The thermocline slopes downward towards the central region. Upwelling is prominent in the entire region during monsoon and is observed ...
Upwelling and sinking along Visakhapatnam coast
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
Stability and stratification of the water over the shelf disappear as cold saline waters characteristic of 60 m depth rise to the surface during March. Tilting of isopycnals and offshore displacement of isohalines suggest ...
A Comparative Study of Vertical Stabilities in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(India Meteorological Department, 1981)
Stabilities in the upper 300 m in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are computed and presented seasonwise. The water column in the Bay of Bengal is more strongly stratified than that in the Arabian Sea. These studies ...
Rapid climatic shifts and its influence on ancient civilisations: Evidence from marine records
(Universities Press, Hyderabad, India, 1998)
The southwest (SW) monsoon system in the Arabian Sea exerts a strong influence upon the climatic conditions in South and Southeast Asia and the associated monsoon rainfall has a great impact on the socio-economic and ...
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 ...
Living planktonic foraminifera during the late summer monsoon period in the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 1994)
During the late summer monsoon living planktonic foraminifera were collected in the southeastern Arabian Sea between 3~'N and 15~'N by using six vertical plankton tows. Sixteen species of planktonic foraminifera were ...
