Time Series Observations in the North Indian Ocean
(IMBER, 2011)
Unlike the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, the northern Indian Ocean is geographically unique. The bounding to the north by the Asian landmass has a profound impact on the biogeochemistry of the region. The Arabian Sea ...
The Arabian Sea as a high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll region during the late southwest monsoon
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)
Extensive observations were made during the late southwest monsoon of 2004 over the Indian and Omani shelves, and along a transect that extended from the southern coast of Oman to the central west coast of India, tracking ...
Spatial variability in phytoplankton community structure along the eastern Arabian Sea during the onset of south-west monsoon
(Elsevier, 2016)
The Arabian Sea experiences moderate to weak upwelling along the south-west coast of India, which subsequently propagates towards the north. This causes variation in plankton community composition, which is addressed in ...
Positive Indian ocean dipole events prevent anoxia off the west coast of India
(European Geosciences Union, 2017)
The seasonal upwelling along the west coast of India (WCI) brings nutrient-rich, oxygen-poor subsurface waters to the continental shelf, favoring very low oxygen concentrations in the surface waters during late boreal ...
Isotopic composition of nitrate and particulate organic matter in a pristine dam reservoir of western India: Implications for biogeochemical processes
(European Geosciences Union, 2017)
Isotopic composition of nitrate (δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>18</sup>O) and particulate organic matter (POM; δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>13</sup>C) were measured in the Tillari Reservoir, located at the ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
Nitrogen fixation rates in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The Arabian Sea experiences bloom of the diazotroph Trichodesmium during certain times of the year when optimal sea surface temperature and oligotrophic condition favour their growth. We measured nitrogen fixation rates ...
Carbon and nitrogen fluxes in the North Indian Ocean
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
The land mass that blocks the Indian Ocean in the north at low latitudes profoundly influences the climate, circulation and biogeochemical processes of its northern basins. The asymmetrical distribution
of freshwater and ...
Variations in some environmental characteristics including C and N stable isotopic composition of suspended organic matter in the Mandovi estuary
(Springer, 2011)
Chemical and isotopic (delta sup(13)C and delta sup(15)N) investigation of the Mandovi estuary along the Indian west coast affected strongly by the seasonal monsoon cycle was carried out. The Mandovi estuary is a major ...
Upwelling intensity modulates N2O concentrations over the western Indian shelf
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2016)
Repeat measurements of dissolved nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) along two transects of the western continental shelf of India in 2012 revealed high concentrations of 45±32 nM (off Kochi) and 73±63 nM (off Mangalore) during ...
