The monsoon currents in the north Indian Ocean
(Pergamon (Elsevier), 2002)
The monsoon currents are the seasonally reversing, open-ocean currents that flow between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the two wings of the north Indian Ocean. The Summer Monsoon Current (SMC) flows eastward ...
Seasonal cycle of sea level and currents along the coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)
A framework involving long baroclinic waves, which treats the north Indian Ocean
as a single dynamical entity, has been remarkably successful in simulating the
low-frequency, large-scale circulation in the ocean. It is, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Post-tsunami oceanographic conditions in southern Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
Physical oceanographic conditions along the east and west coasts of India immediately after the recent devastating tsunami are presented here. The thermocline in the southeast coast exhibited trivial downward tilt towards ...
Foramgeographical affinities of the west and east coasts of India: An approach through cluster analysis and comparison of taxonomical, environmental and ecological parameters of Recent foraminiferal thanatotopes
(ONGC, India, 2000)
Q-Mode cluster analysis of one hundred sixty species of Recent foraminifera from twenty nine Recent littoral-thanatotopes from 4000 km long coastal-stretch of India reveals that its west and east coasts belong to two ...
Simulated seasonal and interannual variability of mixed layer heat budget in the northern Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)
A global Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) is used to investigate the mixed layer heat budget of the Northern Indian Ocean (NIO). The model is validated against observations and shows a fairly good agreement with mixed ...
Spatiotemporal structure of the East India Coastal Current from satellite altimetry
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
A newly processed altimeter data set to present a hitherto unprecedented description of the spatiotemporal structure of the East India Coastal Current (EICC) is used: the data set resolves timescales ranging from a few ...
Differential response of winter cooling on biological production in the northeastern Arabian Sea and northwestern Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
The northern parts of the twin seas bordering the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian Sea (AS) and Bay of Bengal (BOB), were studied during the winter monsoon. Higher biological production was observed in the AS (chlorophyll ...
Atmospheric deposition and surface stratification as controls of contrasting chlorophyll abundance in the North Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)
Intense upwelling during summer and convection in winter are believed to drive higher biological productivity in the Arabian Sea than in the Bay of Bengal. Although the Arabian Sea receives substantial atmospheric deposition ...
