Wave characteristics off Visakhapatnam coast during a cyclone
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
Waves were measured using a directional waverider buoy off Visakhapatnam, east coast of India during the passage of a cyclone in November 1998. The maximum wave height observed during the passage was 5.74 m, whereas this ...
Marine boundary layer characteristics during a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
During the period 12–16 June 1996 a tropical cyclonic storm formed over the southwest Bay of Bengal and moved in a north–northeasterly direction. The thermodynamic characteristics of this system are investigated by utilizing ...
Morphological features in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Geophysical Union, 2000)
Bengal Fan is one of the world's largest submarine fans having an area of 2.8-3.0 xl06 sq.km. It extends from Ganges/Brahmaputra delta around 20° N latitude to south of 7° S, with a maximum width of about 1000 km around ...
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 ...
Strong variability in bacterioplankton abundance and production in central and western Bay of Bengal
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)
With large influx of freshwater that decreases sea-surface salinities, weak wind forcing of less than 10 m s sup (-1) and almost always warm (greater than 28 degrees C) sea-surface temperature that stratifies and shallows ...
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 ...
Net community production in the northern Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
The monthly/seasonal variability in net community production (NCP) is controlled by the monsoon either through increasing nutrients to the euphotic zone or an increase in river runoff in the northern Indian Ocean. Net ...
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of bulk aerosols over India and northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2011)
Atmospheric carbonaceous aerosols of South Asian origin have received immense concerns in the Anthropocene owing to their plausible role in the observed regional to inter-continental scale climate anomalies. Tracking ...
Foramgeographical affinities of the west and east coasts of India: An approach through cluster analysis and comparison of taxonomical, environmental and ecological parameters of Recent foraminiferal thanatotopes
(ONGC, India, 2000)
Q-Mode cluster analysis of one hundred sixty species of Recent foraminifera from twenty nine Recent littoral-thanatotopes from 4000 km long coastal-stretch of India reveals that its west and east coasts belong to two ...
Mesozooplankton community in the Bay of Bengal (India): Spatial variability during the summer monsoon
(Springer, 2009)
This study addresses the spatial variability in mesozooplankton biomass and composition in the Central and Western Bay of Bengal (India) during the summer monsoon season of 2001. Perennially warmer sea surface temperatures ...
