Reconstruction of the variability of the southwest monsoon during the past 3 ka, from the continental margin of the southeastern Arabian Sea
(John Wiley, 2010)
From temporal variation in delta sup(18) O in Globigerinoides ruber and G. sacculifer and geochemical indices of weathering/erosion (chemical index of alteration, Al and Ti), we infer rapid southwest monsoon (SWM) deterioration ...
Improved bathymetric datasets for the shallow water regions in the Indian Ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
Ocean modellers use bathymetric datasets like ETOPO5 and ETOPO2 to represent the ocean bottom topography. The former dataset is based on digitization of depth contours greater than 200 m, and the latter is based on satellite ...
Predominance of anaerobic bacterial community over aerobic community contribute to intensify ‘oxygen minimum zone’ in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2011)
The presence of a delicately poised mid-depth oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) makes the Arabian Sea a unique and important ecosystem. So far, various aspects responsible for its formation have been studied. However, the contributions ...
Revealing monsoonal variability of the last 2,500 years over India using sedimentological and foraminiferal proxies
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)
A 2-m-long, shallow-water sediment core, representing the last 2,500 years, collected from the tropical Arabian Sea from the inner shelf (22 m water depth) off Karwar (Karnataka, India) near the mouth of the Kali River, ...
Role of nematodes as bioindicators in marine and freshwater habitats
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2002)
Nematodes as bioindicator of water quality and ecosystem function has been emphasized. The behaviour of a nematode parasite Rostellascaris sp. As a biological tag and useful discriminant of habitats and in fishery exploitation ...
Spatial zonation of zooplankton in the northwestern Arabian Sea: A multivariate approach
(International Scientific Publications, 2000)
Latitudinal variation in abundance, diversity, dominance pattern and zonation of the major groups of zooplankton was studied n the coastal waters of northwestern Arabian Sea, between 25°44' N and 10°44' N. Maxwell Boltzmann ...
The effect of semi-permanent eddies on the distribution of mesozooplankton in the central Bay of Bengal
(Yale University, 2008)
Five locations in the central Bay of Bengal (BoB) along a longitudinal transect at 88E were sampled during the Fall Intermonsoon, 2002 for mesozooplankton biomass, abundance, groups and copepod species composition. Stations ...
Observed intra-seasonal to interannual variability of the upper ocean thermal structure in the southeastern Arabian Sea during 2002-2008
(Elsevier, 2010)
The southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS), located in the Indian Ocean warmpool, is a key-region of the regional climate system. It is suspected to play an important role in the dynamics of the Asian summer monsoon system. The ...
Environmental studies of the Arabian Sea using remote sensing, GIS and GPS techniques
(2006)
The Arabian Sea, situated in the western part of the northern Indian Ocean is a tropical basin. It is bounded on the east by the Indian peninsula, on the north by Baluchistan and Sindh provinces of Pakistan and on the west ...
Post-tsunami oceanographic conditions in southern Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
Physical oceanographic conditions along the east and west coasts of India immediately after the recent devastating tsunami are presented here. The thermocline in the southeast coast exhibited trivial downward tilt towards ...
