A tektite fragment discovered in the Central Indian Basin
(Current Science Association, 1998)
On the basis of various lines of evidence, tektites are now considered as glassy objects generated by meteorite impacts, distributed in four known strewn fields, of which, the Australasian tektite strewn field is the ...
On the sea surface temperature high in the Lakshadweep Sea before the onset of the southwest monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)
The north Indian Ocean becomes the warmest area of the world oceans prior to the onset of southwest monsoon in June. During this period a zonal band of high sea surface temperature (SST), the ``thermal equator'' (TE), moves ...
Post-Cretaceous intraplate volcanism in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 1998)
Interplate volcanism in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) has been of much interest, since this tectonicaly young and structurally complex basin holds signatures of at least one major plate reorganisation (at 65 ~c 5 ...
Are interdecadal sea level changes along the Indian coast influenced by variability of monsoon rainfall?
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)
The Mumbai (Bombay) tide gauge data, the only century-long record in the Indian Ocean, show that interdecadal changes in sea level mimic those in rainfall over the Indian subcontinent. We propose that the link between ...
Periodic deformation of oceanic crust in the central Indian Ocean
(AGU, 1998)
New seismic reflection profiles of ~~ 5370 km, running through the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 116 sites and Deep Sea Drilling Project Sites 215 and 218, were obtained to investigate the spatial extent, timing, and nature ...
Physical properties of a sediment core from the Central Indian Basin
(Indian Geophysical Union, 1998)
A box core of 7.5 m was collected from the Central Indian Basin for the purpose of geotechnical studies and depthwise variation of physical properties and clay mineralogy. Water content, Atterberg limits, specific gravity ...
Sea level during storm surges as seen in tide-gauge records along the east coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 1999)
Analysis of hourly sea level recorded by tide gauges of the Survey of India (SOI) at Paradip, Vishakhapatnam, and Chennai provides a record of non-tidal sea level during three periods, 6-10 August 1979, 6-10 August 1981, ...
Low-frequency variability of sea level along the coast of India
(1998)
Coastal sea level is one of the better documented oceanic variables, there being several tide-gauge records of hourly sea level that stretch back to the last century. This, together with the fact that geostrophic, low-frequency ...
Chemistry of surface sediment along a north-south transect across the equator in the Central Indian Basin: An assessment of biogenic and detrital influences on elemental burial on the seafloor
(Elsevier, 1998)
The detailed chemistry of the surface sediment collected along a north-south transect across the equator in the Central Indian Ocean suggest that: biogenic sedimentation north of equator is dominated by carbonate ooze and ...
