Nutrient regimes and their effect on distribution of phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2008)
The seasonal dynamics of nutrient ratios and abundance of phytoplankton cells from the central (CB) and western (WB) Bay of Bengal (BOB) were studied during the fall intermonsoon (FIM; September-October 2002) and spring ...
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of remotely-sensed sea surface height, visible light and chlorophyll in the Bay of Bengal
(MSc Dissertation, Goa University, Goa, India - National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India; 41pp, 2008)
Global warming and associated climate change is one of the immediate threats that the human being are confronted with and it is important to understand so that effective remedial measures could be put in place. The response ...
The effect of semi-permanent eddies on the distribution of mesozooplankton in the central Bay of Bengal
(Yale University, 2008)
Five locations in the central Bay of Bengal (BoB) along a longitudinal transect at 88E were sampled during the Fall Intermonsoon, 2002 for mesozooplankton biomass, abundance, groups and copepod species composition. Stations ...
Strong variability in bacterioplankton abundance and production in central and western Bay of Bengal
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)
With large influx of freshwater that decreases sea-surface salinities, weak wind forcing of less than 10 m s sup (-1) and almost always warm (greater than 28 degrees C) sea-surface temperature that stratifies and shallows ...
Trace metal concentrations in marine zooplankton from the western Bay of Bengal
(Corvinus University of Budapest, 2008)
Trace metal contents in zooplankton samples were estimated as a part of Marine Research-Living Resource Programme (MRLR) programme at 24 stations to establish the importance of these metals in the Bay of Bengal. The average ...
Marine geophysical investigations across the submarine canyon (Swatch-of-No-Ground), northern Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Science, 2008)
Multibeam swath bathymetry, gravity and magnetic investigations were conducted across the major delta front canyon known as Swatch-of-No-Ground in the northern Bay of Bengal. The study reveals that the canyon is a 300 m ...
Propagation of sound in oceans
(MSc Dissertation, Wadia College, Pune, India - National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India; 29pp, 2008)
The present project work studies the characteristics of the sound speed profiles in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Since the sound speed in the ocean depends on the temperature and salinity, the vertical profiles ...
Carbohydrates, uronic acids and alkali extractable carbohydrates in contrasting marine and estuarine sediments: Distribution, size fractionation and partial chemical characterization
(Elsevier, 2008)
Concentration, size fractionation and monosaccharide composition of carbohydrates and uronic acids were investigated in contrasting sediments of the Mandovi estuary (ME), Arabian Sea (AS) and the Bay of Bengal (BOB). ...
Seasonal variation of microzooplankton (20-200 mu m) and its possible implications on the vertical carbon flux in the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2008)
Stratification (throughout the year) and low solar radiation (during monsoon periods) have caused low chlorophyll a and primary production (seasonal average 13-18 mg m sup(-2) and 242-265 mg C m sup(-2) d sup(-1), respectively) ...
Observation on oceanographic parameters of nearshore waters off Yanam, during the cyclonic storm
(Current Science Association, 2008)
The current and temperature at different levels were measured at 75 m water depth off Yanam, (Andhra Pradesh, India) which is 12 km away from the coast for a period of 40 days during August-October 2005. The tides and winds ...
