Air-sea interaction, coastal circulation and primary production exhibit an annual cycle in the
eastern Arabian Sea (AS). During June to September, strong southwesterly winds (4∼ 9 …

Although it is nominally a tropical locale, the semiannual wind reversals associated with the
Monsoon system of the Arabian Sea result annually in two distinct periods of elevated …

Deep-sea sediments of two cores from the western (TY93-929/P) and the southeastern
(MD900963) Arabian Sea were used to study the variations of the Indian monsoon during …

Solid-phase phosphorus (P) speciation and benthic phosphate fluxes have been
determined in Arabian Sea sediments. Benthic phosphate fluxes are highest in the …

In this study, a new sequential extraction technique is used to investigate the particulate
barium (Ba) phases in sediments from the Arabian Sea to determine the processes …

This study documents the result of field observations from the southeastern Arabian Sea
during onset, peak and late phases of summer monsoon. The pronounced variations in …

Burial of fish bones, which consist primarily of hydroxyapatite, has been recognized as a
mechanism to remove reactive phosphorus from the oceans. In this study, a new method is …

Diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophores, nanoflagellates, picophytoplankton and
procaryote algae (Synechococcus spp. and prochlorophytes) were quantified by microscopy …

To examine the role of climatic extremes in structuring reef fish communities in the Arabian
region, reef fish communities were visually surveyed at four sites within the southern Persian …

The role of bacterioplankton in the Somali Current, the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea was
studied during the SW-(May–August 1992) and NE-monsoon (January–February 1993). The …
