Detection of Bay of Bengal eddies from TOPEX and in situ observations
(Sears Foundation, 2000)
Oceanic eddies have warm or cold temperatures and high or low sea surface height (SSH) at the center depending upon the direction of rotation. However, since the Bay of Bengal waters are highly stratified, sea surface ...
Influence of physical processes and freshwater discharge on the seasonality of phytoplankton regime in the Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 2000)
The seasonality of phytoplankton was examined in the western and northern Bay of Bengal using shipboard data collected during three seasons as well as ocean colour imagery from OCTS and Sea WiFS. Seasonal changes in the ...
Anomalous circulation in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean during southwest monsoon of 1994
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
Geostrophic circulation derived from hydrographic data collected during July-August, 1994 along 80, 84 and 88E between 5N and 3S latitudinal belt in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean is presented. A broad westward flow ...
Seasonal variability of upper-layer geostrophic transport in the tropical Indian Ocean during 1992-1996 along TOGA-I XBT tracklines
(Pergamon, 2000)
Upper layer (0-400 m) geostrophic volume transport associated with the major current systems of the tropical Indian Ocean along the near-meridional TOGA-India XBT tracklines from Mumbai to Mauritius during 1992-1996 is ...
Chlorophyll modulation of mixed layer thermodynamics in a mixed-layer isopycnal general circulation model - An example from Arabian Sea and Equatorial Pacific
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
Western Tropical Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and equatorial Pacific are known to be regions of intense bio-chemical-physical interactions with Arabian sea being largest in seasonal phytoplankton bloom while the equatorial ...
Fluxes of diatoms in the Dona Paula Bay, west coast of India
(Cambridge University Press, 2000)
Sediment traps were deployed at a station in the Dona Paula Bay, Goa, India to collect sedimenting particles at weekly intervals from November to May during 1995-1997. Sedimented particles were analysed for total diatom ...
Hydrological structure and biological productivity of the tropical Indian Ocean
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
Hydrological structure analyses of regions in the tropical Atlantic Ocean have consistently revealed the existence of a typical tropical structure characterized by a nitrate-depleted mixed layer above the thermocline. The ...
Seasonal cyclogenesis and the role of near-surface stratified layer in the Bay of Bengal
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
The role of the near-surface stratified layer developed due to the spread of low salinity waters under the influence of freshwater influx on the cyclogenesis over the Bay of Bengal is addressed. The seasonal variation of ...
