Rapid climatic shifts and its influence on ancient civilisations: Evidence from marine records
(Universities Press, Hyderabad, India, 1998)
The southwest (SW) monsoon system in the Arabian Sea exerts a strong influence upon the climatic conditions in South and Southeast Asia and the associated monsoon rainfall has a great impact on the socio-economic and ...
Supra-generic radiolarian transfer function based late Miocene palaeomonsoonal changes in the northeastern tropical Indian Ocean
(Indian Geological Association, 1995)
A Q-mode factor analysis of the % data of 25 broadly defined supra-generic radiolarian groups in 42 deep-sea surface sediments produced four statistically significant and geographically distinct faunal assemblages related ...
Zooplankton ecology in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine system of Goa, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
Seasonal variability in the physico-chemical features, zooplankton standing stock (biomass) and faunal composition in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine system of Goa, India, during January to December 1990 were studied. ...
Coastal circulation in the North Indian Ocean: Coastal segment (14,S-W)
(John Wiley and Sons, New York, USA, 1998)
The article provides an overview of the circulation of the coastal regime of the North Indian Ocean stretching from southern coast of Indonesia to the coast of East Africa. A special feature of this regime is that it ...
Physical oceanography of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
(George Allen and Unwin. London, UK, 1996)
Physical oceanography of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea is reviewed for the first time. All available information for over 50 years is consolidated in this review. To begin with, information on peripheral or related ...
Environmental changes associated with monsoon induced upwelling, off central west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
Coastal upwelling of nutrients during and after the southwest monsoon has been considered to support rich pelagic and demersal fisheries off the west coast of India. Studies indicate occurrence of coastal upwelling assoicated ...
Radiolarian monsoonal index Pyloniid group responds to astronomical forcing in the last approx. 500,000 y ears: Evidence from the Central Indian Ocean
(Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies, 1999)
Pyloniid radiolarians, oceanic micro-zooplanktons (surface water dwelling), are sensitive to monsoon sea surface temperature and salinity, and their variation down a core may provide an insight into the proxy climatic ...
Forcing mechanisms of the Bay of Bengal circulation
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
A state-of-the-art ocean general circulation model, set up for the North Indian Ocean and driven by climatological wind stress simulates most of the observed features of the near-surface circulation of the Bay of Bengal. ...
Real time wave measurements and wave hindcasting in deep waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1994)
Deep water waves off Karwar (lat. 14~'45.1'N, long. 73~'34.8'E) at 75 m water depth pertaining to peak monsoon period have been measured using a Datawell waverider buoy. Measured wave data show that the significant wave ...
Coupling between SW monsoon-related surface and deep ocean processes as discerned from continuous particle flux measurements and correlated satellite data
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)
Particle flux data obtained by time series sediment traps deployed at water depths of approximately 3000 m in the western, central, and eastern Arabian Sea since 1986 were compared with wind speeds derived from measurements ...
