Coherent response of the Indian Monsoon Rainfall to Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability over the last 2000 years
(2020)
Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) rainfall has a direct effect on the livelihoods of two billion people in the Indian-subcontinent. Yet, our understanding of the drivers of multi-decadal variability of the ISM is far from being ...
Hourly maximum individual wave height in the Indian shelf seas-its spatial and temporal variations in the recent 40 years
(Springer, 2020)
The spatial and temporal variability of the high individual wave heights, which pose a hazard in India's shelf seas, has not been investigated. In this study, the spatial and temporal variation of hourly maximum individual ...
Macrobenthic diversity and community structure at Cochin Port, an estuarine habitat along the southwest coast of India
(2020)
Estuarine habitats are highly dynamic owing to tidal and seasonal changes in physical and chemical properties, which, in turn, have a profound influence on the diversity and community structure of its living components. ...
A significant shift in particulate organic matter characteristics during flooding of River Krishna, eastern peninsular India
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2020)
Extremely heavy rainfall over a small, semi-arid section of the Indian Peninsula in October 2009, together with release of water from dams resulted in very severe flooding in River Krishna. The sources and type of organic ...
Is the benthic index AMBI impervious to seasonality and data transformations while evaluating the ecological status of an anthropized monsoonal estuary?
(2020)
Benthic indices are a potential measure of a system's ecological quality status. It is vital for an efficient index to distinguish the anthropogenic effects from the natural stress associated with seasonality, especially ...
Observed variability of the West India Coastal Current on the continental slope from 2009-2018
(2020)
We describe the variability of the West India Coastal Current (WICC) during October 2008 to October 2018 using data from ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) moorings deployed on the continental slope off the west coast ...
Impacts of Zn and Cu enrichment under ocean acidification scenario on a phytoplankton community from tropical upwelling system
(2020)
Increasing dissolution of CO2 in the surface ocean is rapidly decreasing its pH and changing carbon chemistry which is further affecting marine biota in several ways. Phytoplankton response studies under the combination ...
Influence of tropical cyclones on the 100-year return period wave height- A study based on 39-year long ERA5 reanalysis data
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)
Various engineering activities in a coastal and offshore environment require detailed assessment about the probable extreme wave characteristics in its lifetime to prevent human as well as property loss. The accurate ...
Influence of environmental parameters on bio-optical characteristics of colored dissolved organic matter in a complex tropical coastal and estuarine region
(Elsevier BV, 2020)
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important source of carbon in aquatic ecosystems, and colored DOM (CDOM), which is smaller than 0.2 mu m and interacts with ultraviolet (UV) and visible light, affects the spectral ...
Comparison of bacterial diversity from two mangrove ecosystems from India through metagenomic sequencing: Comparative mangrove bacterial diversity using metagenomics
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
In the present study, we explored the microbial diversity of two mangrove regions, Mangalavanam (MAN) and Puthuvype (PVY), in Cochin, India. While PVY is a coastal island, MAN lies in the heart of the mainland of Cochin, ...
