The relationship between volatile halocarbons and phytoplankton pigments during a Trichodesmium bloom in the coastal eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2011)
Eukaryotic phytoplankton such as diatoms and prymnesiophytes produce biogenic halocarbons in the ocean that serve as important sources of chlorine and bromine to the atmosphere, but the role of cyanobacteria in halocarbon ...
Variations in some environmental characteristics including C and N stable isotopic composition of suspended organic matter in the Mandovi estuary
(Springer, 2011)
Chemical and isotopic (delta sup(13)C and delta sup(15)N) investigation of the Mandovi estuary along the Indian west coast affected strongly by the seasonal monsoon cycle was carried out. The Mandovi estuary is a major ...
Sedimentary sulphate reduction and organic matter mineralization across salinity gradient of the Mandovi Estuary, West coast of India
(Elsevier, 2019)
The Mandovi Estuary, located along the tropical west coast of India, transforms from being a freshwater-dominated body during the monsoon season to a tide-dominated system during post-monsoon season, with a salinity gradient ...
Methane dynamics in the shelf waters of the West coast of India during seasonal anoxia
(Elsevier, 2018)
The Western Continental Shelf of India experiences water-column anoxia during late summer/early autumn, thereby providing conducive conditions for methane (CH4) accumulation. Measurements of CH4 along with other ancillary ...
N2 production rates limited by nitrite availability in the Bay of Bengal oxygen minimum zone
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2017)
A third or more of the fixed nitrogen lost from the oceans as N<sub>2</sub> is removed by anaerobic microbial processes in open ocean oxygen minimum zones. These zones have expanded over the past decades, and further ...
Coastal versus open-ocean denitrification in the Arabian Sea
(The European Geosciences Union, 2006)
The Arabian Sea contains one of the three major open-ocean denitrification zones in the world. In addition, pelagic denitrification also occurs over the inner and mid-shelf off the west coast of India. The major differences ...
Benthic fluxes in a tropical estuary and their role in the ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2009)
In-situ measurements of benthic fluxes of oxygen and nutrients were made in the subtidal region of the Mandovi estuary during premonsoon and monsoon seasons to understand the role of sediment-water exchange processes in ...
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 ...
Massive Nitrogen Loss Over the Western Indian Continental Shelf During Seasonal Anoxia: Evidence From Isotope Pairing Technique
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)
The western Indian continental shelf houses the world's largest naturally formed coastal low-oxygen zone that develops seasonally during the summer monsoon. We investigated multiple reductive nitrogen transformation pathways ...
Spatial variation of phytoplankton pigments along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2006)
Phytoplankton composition and abundance were studied along the southwestern Indian coast toward the end of the upwelling season in October 2004. Phytoplankton pigment analyses, complemented by limited microscopic counts, ...
