On the relative roles of El Nino and Indian Ocean Dipole events on the monsoon onset over Kerala
(Springer, 2011)
Interannual variations of the monsoon onset over Kerala (MOK) have been studied using data from over 60 years (1948-2009) of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and outgoing long-wave radiation. The sea surface temperature fields over ...
Variations in long term wind speed during different decades in Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2010)
A study has been carried out by comparing the extreme wind speeds estimated based on NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data for 100 years return period using Fischer Tippet-1 (commonly known as Gumbel) and Weibull distributions for ...
High CO2 emissions from the tropical Godavari estuary (India) associated with monsoon river discharges
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)
Estuaries have been under sampled to establish them as sources or sinks of the atmospheric carbon dioxide. Such poor coverage is well known for tropical, particularly monsoon driven, estuaries. In an attempt to study the ...
State of knowledge of coastal and marine biodiversity of Indian Ocean countries
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
The Indian Ocean (IO) extends over 30% of the global ocean area and is rimmed by 36 littoral and 11 hinterland nations sustaining about 30% of the world’s population. The landlocked character of the ocean along its northern ...
Sea surface temperature changes during May and August in the western Arabian Sea over the last 22 kyr: Implications as to shifting of the upwelling season
(Elsevier, 2011)
In the western Arabian Sea (WAS), the highest seasonal sea surface temperature (SST) difference presently occurs between May and August. In order to gain an understanding on how monsoonal upwelling modulates the SST ...
Micrometer- and nanometer-sized platinum group nuggets in micrometeorites from deep-sea sediments of the Indian Ocean
(The Meteoritical Society, 2011)
We examined 378 micrometeorites collected from deep-sea sediments of the Indian Ocean of which 175, 180, and 23 are I-type, S-type, and G-type, respectively. Of the 175 I-type spherules, 13 contained platinum group element ...
Occurrence of soft sediment deformation at Dive Agar beach, west coast of India: possible record of the Indian Ocean tsunami (2004)
(Springer, 2011)
Authors describe here a sequence of soft sediment deformation (SSD) structures at Dive Agar beach near Srivardhan in the west coast of India. The approx.120-cm-thick sediment package is represented by a basal undeformed ...
Tsunamis: Detection, monitoring, and early-warning technologies
(Elsevier, 2011)
The devastating impacts of tsunamis have received increased focus since the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the most devastating tsunami in over 400 years of recorded history. This professional reference is the first of its ...
Indian Ocean margins
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
The most important biogeochemical transformations and boundary exchanges in the Indian Ocean seem to occur in the northern region, where the processes originating at the land-ocean boundary extend far beyond the continental ...
Differential dissolution of biogenic carbonates: Implications of secretion at higher pH
(The Palaeontological Society of India, 2010)
A selective preferential dissolution of a few initial chambers of several specimens of calcareous planktic foraminifera Globigerinoides rubber has been noted in the surface sediments collected from the eastern Arabian Sea ...
