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 ...
Seasonal Variation of Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall in the Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean
(SpringerLink, 2006)
The diurnal cycle of rainfall over the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean is studied for the period 23rd October 2001 to 31st October 2003 using the hourly data from the Triton buoy positioned at 1.5°S and 90°E. An analysis ...
Micrometer- and nanometer-sized platinum group nuggets in micrometeorites from deep-sea sediments of the Indian Ocean
(The Meteoritical Society, 2011)
We examined 378 micrometeorites collected from deep-sea sediments of the Indian Ocean of which 175, 180, and 23 are I-type, S-type, and G-type, respectively. Of the 175 I-type spherules, 13 contained platinum group element ...
Link between convection and meridional gradient of sea surface temperature in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
We use daily satellite estimates of sea surface temperature (SST) and rainfall during 1998-2005 to show that onset of convection over the central Bay of Bengal (88-92E, 14-18N) during the core summer monsoon (mid-May to ...
Occurrence of soft sediment deformation at Dive Agar beach, west coast of India: possible record of the Indian Ocean tsunami (2004)
(Springer, 2011)
Authors describe here a sequence of soft sediment deformation (SSD) structures at Dive Agar beach near Srivardhan in the west coast of India. The approx.120-cm-thick sediment package is represented by a basal undeformed ...
Introduction to Indian Ocean biogeochemical processes and ecological variability: Current understanding and emerging perspectives
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Despite a history of exploration dating back to the classical era and its leading role as a pathway for trade and cultural exchange for the great civilizations of those times, the Indian Ocean has consistently been subject ...
Preface to: Marine micropaleontological studies from the northern Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)
Indian Ocean is unique, being land-locked towards the northern margin, and experiences, highest reported oceanic productivity. It is also the locale for the most severe oxygen depleted waters in the coastal and intermediate ...
AoA Region: South Asian Seas
(UNESCO/IOC, 2009)
The South Asian Seas region lies in the northern extreme of the Indian Ocean. It includes the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystems (LME) along with their marginal basins as well as the Laccadive Sea and ...
Composition and genesis of zeolitic claystones from the central Indian Ocean Basin
(Geological Society of China, 2007)
More than fifty indurated sediments recovered from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIoB) are examined during the course of collection for manganese nodules and crusts. The samples occur as slabs either over which ferromanganese ...
Tsunamis: Detection, monitoring, and early-warning technologies
(Elsevier, 2011)
The devastating impacts of tsunamis have received increased focus since the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the most devastating tsunami in over 400 years of recorded history. This professional reference is the first of its ...
