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 ...
Seasonal variation of pteropods from the Western Arabian Sea sediment trap
(Springer, 2006)
Sediment trap samples collected from the Western Arabian Sea yielded a rich assemblage of intact and non-living (opaque white) pteropod tests from a water depth of 919 m during January to September 1993. Nine species of ...
The environment that conditions the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2007)
The Mandovi and Zuari estuaries in Goa, India are coastal plain estuaries located between the Sahyadris (Western Ghats) and the Arabian Sea. Each estuary is about 50 km long. On the basis of geometry, they can be divided ...
Thermohaline structure of an inverse estuary - The Gulf of Kachchh: Measurements and model simulations
(Elsevier, 2007)
The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) is situated in the northeastern Arabian Sea. The presence of several industries along its coastal belt makes GoK a highly sensitive coastal ecosystem. In the present study, an attempt is made for ...
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 ...
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 ...
Climatology of the Eastern Arabian Sea during the last glacial cycle reconstructed from paired measurement of foraminiferal delta sup(18)O and Mg/Ca
(Elsevier, 2010)
Paired measurements of Mg/Ca and delta sup(18)O of Globigerenoides sacculifer from an Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) sediment core indicate that sea-surface temperature (SST) varied within 2 degrees C and sea-surface salinity ...
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). ...
Surface freshwater from Bay of Bengal runoff and Indonesian throughflow in the tropical Indian Ocean
(AGU, 2006)
According to recent estimates, the annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is about 2950 km3, which is more than half that into the entire tropical Indian Ocean (IO). Here we use climatological ...
Interannual variability of chlrophyll concentration in the eastern Arabian Sea
(MSc Dissertation, Pune University, India - National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India; 65pp, 2008)
The monthly mean chlorophyll pigment concentrations and diffuse attenuation were derived for the eastern Arabian Sea [5-16oN; 70-80oE] from SeaWiFS global 9-km resolution data product for the period January 1998 to December ...
