Chlorophyll modulation of mixed layer thermodynamics in a mixed-layer isopycnal General Circulation Model - An example from Arabian Sea and equatorial Pacific
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2002)
Western tropical Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and the equatorial Pacific are known as regions of intense bio-chemical-physical interactions: the Arabian Sea has the largest phytoplankton bloom with seasonal signal, while the ...
Manganese nodules as a possible source of precious metals
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
Marine geochemistry of Platinum (Pt) and Iridium (Ir) shows that both the elements are relatively enriched in manganese nodules. Compared to Pt concentration in the earth's upper continental crust the oceanic manganese ...
Drift pumice in the central Indian Ocean Basin: Geochemical evidence
(Elsevier, 2008)
Abundant white to light grey-coloured pumice without ferromanganese oxide coating occurs within the Quaternary sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). Two distinct groups of pumice are identified from their ...
Bacterioplankton abundance and production in Indian Ocean Regions
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Microbes mediating biological and many geochemical processes are the key components in marine ecosystems. Information on spatiotemporal variations in heterotrophic bacterial (Hbac) abundance and production in three ...
Seasonal anoxia over the western Indian continental shelf
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
The eastern Arabian Sea contains the only eastern-boundary-type upwelling environment in the entire Indian Ocean, albeit on a seasonal basis. During the southwest monsoon, when the surface current flows equatorward, upwelling ...
