Enhanced chlorophyll a and primary production in the northern Arabian Sea during the spring intermonsoon due to green Noctiluca scintillans bloom
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)
The surface waters of the northeastern Arabian Sea sustained relatively high chlorophyll a (average 0.81+ or -0.80 mg m sup(-3)) and primary production (average 29.5+ or -23.6 mgC m sup(-3)d sup(-1)) during the early spring ...
Seasonal occurrence of anoxygenic photosynthesis in Tillari and Selaulim reservoirs, Western India
(The European Geosciences Union, 2012)
Phytoplankton and bacterial pigment compositions were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in two freshwater reservoirs (Tillari Dam and Selaulim ...
Short-term observation of beach dynamics using cross-shore profiles and foreshore sediment
(Elsevier, 2012)
Cross-shore beach profiles and textural characteristics of foreshore sediment were analyzed for understanding an annual cycle of intertidal beach dynamics at Devbag, an Island sheltered estuarine coast. Cross-shore transects ...
Nature and sources of suspended particulate organic matter in a tropical estuary during the monsoon and pre-monsoon: Insights from stable isotopes (delta 13C POC, delta 15 N TPN) and carbohydrate signature compounds
(Elsevier, 2012)
Mandovi estuary, on the west coast of India, behaves like a fresh water system during the monsoon (June to September), and as a marine system during the pre-monsoon (October to May). The effect of these contrasting conditions ...
Environmental set-up and tidal propagation in a tropical estuary with dual connection to the sea (SW Coast of India)
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)
The Kochi Backwater (KB) is the second largest wetland system in India. It is connected to the sea at Fort Kochi and Munambam (Pallipuram) (30 km north of Kochi). As the tide is forced through two openings, its propagation ...
Variations in nearshore waves along Karnataka, west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2012)
Wind wave spectra were recorded simultaneously at three shallow (water depth 7–9 m) locations (Malpe, Honnavar and Karwar) along the 200 km stretch of the state of Karnataka in 2009 during 27 April–24 May (representing ...
Interannual and seasonal variations in nearshore wave characteristics off Honnavar, west coast of India
(Current Science Association, 2012)
Interannual and seasonal variations in nearshore surface wave parameters over a period of three years (March 2008 - March 2011) were examined based on the measured wave data at 9 m water depth off Honnavar, west coast of ...
Gut fluorescence analysis of barnacle larvae: An approach to quantify the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2012)
Gut fluorescence analysis can provide a snapshot of ingested food and has been employed in feeding studies of various organisms. In this study we standardized the gut fluorescence method using laboratory-reared barnacle ...
Processes of 30–90 days sea surface temperature variability in the northern Indian Ocean during boreal summer
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)
During summer, the northern Indian Ocean exhibits significant atmospheric intraseasonal variability associated with active and break phases of the monsoon in the 30–90 days band. In this paper, we investigate mechanisms ...
Production of dimethylsulphide during the seasonal anoxia off Goa
(Springer, 2012)
Subsurface waters over the western Indian continental shelf experience seasonal anoxia towards the end of the southwest monsoon season. During a 3-day study carried out at the Candolim time series site (off the coast of ...
