Paleomagnetic record for the past 80 ka from the Mahanadi basin, Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 2018)
High resolution paleomagnetic investigations were performed on a 50.08 m long sediment core (MD161/20) from Mahanadi basin, Bay of Bengal. Core yielded reliable paleomagnetic results for top 20 m below seafloor (mbsf) which ...
Upper air thermal inversion and their impact on the summer monsoon rainfall over Goa - A case study
(Pergamon, 2018)
Profiles of periodic GPS Radiosonde ascends collected from a station at the west coast of India (Goa) during summer monsoon months (June to September) of 2009 and 2013 have been used to analyze the thermal inversion ...
Mudbanks and fisheries along the Kerala coast-myth and reality
(Current Science Association & Indian Academy of Sciences, 2018)
Mudbanks, a unique coastal oceanographic phenomenon occurring along the southwest (SW) coast of India during the SW monsoon season, are synonymous with the fishery of this region. Here we examine the validity of the popular ...
Influence of darkness on pigments of Tetraselmis indica (Chlorodendrophyceae, Chlorophyta)
(Elsevier, 2018)
In the photic zone, phytoplankton experience diurnal variation in light intensity. However, prolonged exposure to aphotic condition influences their physiological state. Pigment composition is a useful biomarker to decipher ...
Mapping and analyses of two coralline banks in the western continental margin of India using multibeam echosounder data
(NISCAIR-CSIR, India, 2018)
Six and eleven profiles of bathymetric and backscatter data are drawn from the gridded (rasterized) maps of the two banks, the Gaveshani Bank and another, an unnamed bank (at latitude 13 0 43.5' N, longitude 73 0 42' E) ...
The Dynamics of the Southwest Monsoon Current in 2016 from High-Resolution In Situ Observations and Models
(Elsevier, 2018)
The strong stratification of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) causes rapid variations in sea surface temperature (SST) that influence the development of monsoon rainfall systems. This stratification is driven by the salinity ...
Phytoplankton community structure in relation to environmental factors from the New Mangalore Port waters along the southwest coast of India
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)
Seasonal and spatial phytoplankton distribution in relation to environmental factors was investigated in New Mangalore Port, a major port along the west coast of India. A well-mixed water column characterized the non-monsoon ...
Morphotectonic characteristics, distribution and probable genesis of bathymetric highs off southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2018)
The western continental margin of India and the adjacent deep ocean basins were formed by break-up and separation among India, Seychelles and Madagascar since the Late Cretaceous. The initial India-Madagascar separation ...
Processes controlling the accelerated warming of the Arabian Sea
(Wiley, 2018)
The Arabian Sea (AS) has undergone a regime shift after 1995, manifesting the disruption of its natural decadal cycle over-riding a secular rise in its sea surface temperature (SST). Using a suite of in situ and remote ...
Identification and functional characterization of antimicrobial peptide from the marine crab Dromia dehaani
(Academic Press, 2018)
Many naturally occurring biologically active compounds are derived from marine organisms. Brachyuran crab Dromia dehaani is also known as sponge crab. Hence, this study was undertaken to isolate and characterize the ...
