Biophysical processes in the Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Basic physical processes that impact biological activity in the Indian Ocean (IO), namely, near-surface processes (upwelling, entrainment, detrainment, and advection) and subsurface circulations (shallow overturning cells ...
Geochemical characterization of oceanic basalts using artificial neural network
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2009)
The geochemical discriminate diagrams help to distinguish the volcanics recovered from different tectonic settings but these diagrams tend to group the ocean floor basalts (OFB) under one class i.e., as mid-oceanic ridge ...
On the relative roles of El Nino and Indian Ocean Dipole events on the monsoon onset over Kerala
(Springer, 2011)
Interannual variations of the monsoon onset over Kerala (MOK) have been studied using data from over 60 years (1948-2009) of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and outgoing long-wave radiation. The sea surface temperature fields over ...
An occurrence of approx. 74 ka Youngest Toba tephra from the western continental margin of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)
A dispersed volcanic ash layer was recovered at ~6 300 cm depth in a 5.52 m long sediment core collected at a latitude 9~'21'E from a water depth of 2300 m on the Western Continental Margin of India (WCMI). Glass shards ...
Variations in long term wind speed during different decades in Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2010)
A study has been carried out by comparing the extreme wind speeds estimated based on NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data for 100 years return period using Fischer Tippet-1 (commonly known as Gumbel) and Weibull distributions for ...
High CO2 emissions from the tropical Godavari estuary (India) associated with monsoon river discharges
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)
Estuaries have been under sampled to establish them as sources or sinks of the atmospheric carbon dioxide. Such poor coverage is well known for tropical, particularly monsoon driven, estuaries. In an attempt to study the ...
State of knowledge of coastal and marine biodiversity of Indian Ocean countries
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
The Indian Ocean (IO) extends over 30% of the global ocean area and is rimmed by 36 littoral and 11 hinterland nations sustaining about 30% of the world’s population. The landlocked character of the ocean along its northern ...
Sea surface temperature changes during May and August in the western Arabian Sea over the last 22 kyr: Implications as to shifting of the upwelling season
(Elsevier, 2011)
In the western Arabian Sea (WAS), the highest seasonal sea surface temperature (SST) difference presently occurs between May and August. In order to gain an understanding on how monsoonal upwelling modulates the SST ...
Resolving orographic rainfall on the Indian west coast
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2008)
We discuss a method to obtain the spatial estimates of rainfall on the Indian west coast for calculating the surface water budget. The region includes the basin of the Mandovi River, a typical west-coast river whose catchment ...
Surface and subsurface geostrophic current variability in the Indian Ocean from altimetry
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
Geostrophic currents were calculated at the surface and subsurface levels in the Indian Ocean using satellite altimetry data from TOPEX/POSEIDON and Jason-1, a geoid obtained from the GRACE mission, and historical hydrographic ...
