Laterite occurs extensively over the crystalline and sedimentary rocks in the midland and lowland areas of south Kerala, India. Two lateritization cycles are identified in this area. Large, good-quality kaolin deposits, composed mostly of kaolinite, are characteristic of the sedimentary sequence in south Kerala. These deposits were formed on deposition of the weathering materials of the khondalites towards the first cycle of lateritization. After deposition and uplift of the sedimentary rocks, another lateritization cycle affected these, as well as the khondalites during pre-Quaternary times with the formation of a planation surface at 25–125 m above sea level having thick laterite profiles. The laterite profiles over the kaolin deposits show higher concentration of Fe-oxides (mostly in the form of hematite) and titania, compared to their concentration in the kaolins. Higher contents of Cr and Ni are also characteristic of the laterite over kaolin deposits. Recrystallization of the kaolinite, appearance of Al, Fe and Si amorphous phases in the kaolin clays and partial removal of Fe and Ti from them are attributed to the second lateritization cycle. 相似文献

Marine optical parameters required for ocean color satellite applications must be measured with high accuracy and errors within the permissible limits. These stringent requirements demand careful measurements of optical parameters. Though the free-fall radiometer is found to be a better option for measuring underwater light parameters as it avoids the effects of ship shadow and is easy to operate, the measurements demand profiling the radiometer vertical in water with minimum tilt. Here we present the results of our observations on the tilts of the radiometer from the measurements in the Arabian Sea. Since there is hardly any study carried-out on the tilt of the profiling radiometer, the result of this study will help in the better design of such marine instruments. The tilt of the radiometer near the surface of the water is attributed to the mode of deployment and environment parameters, while the tilt at depth of the water is influenced by the density variations of the water. Here we also demonstrate a method of deploying the instrument that minimizes the tilt of the instrument at the surface layer of the water. 相似文献

Occurrence of well crystallized nontronite in a megaporphyritic basalt flow from Nighoj area, Maharashtra, India is reported. Thin section studies of the vesicles from periphery to the centre reveal the presence of greenish palagonite, probably indicating the stages of devitrification of glass and the weathering of palagonite to the formation of nontronite. The centre of the vesicles is marked by the presence of dark greenish-brown, radiating and fibrous sheets of nontronite. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals the dominant presence of smectite (nontronite) as the major phase with traces of pyroxene. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) shows well developed sheets of nontronite within the gas vesicles of the megaporphyritic basalt flows. In the present investigation, the nontronite within the gas vesicles of the megaporphyritic basalts at Nighoj was formed in-situ due to the devitrification of glass containing palagonite. Palagonite is an intermediate step in the alteration that may be accomplished by the steam generated in quenching of the lava. Weathering of palagonite under conditions of poor drainage is essential to the genesis of nontronite as has been suggested by Victor and Vernon (1946). 相似文献

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) conducted the ‘Integrated Campaign for Aerosols, gases and Radiation Budget (ICARB)’
for a two-month pre-monsoon period in 2006 with the ocean segment covering Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. During this campaign,
carbon monoxide (CO) was continuously monitored using a non-dispersive IR analyser. Quantifying CO in ambient air is vital
in determining the air quality of a region. Being toxic, CO is a criteria pollutant, but it is a weak green house gas. Globally,
very few measurements exist over marine atmospheres to study its temporal pattern; particularly in situ CO measurements are few over the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea for comparison. Present measurements indicate: (i) predominant
single peak in the diurnal pattern of CO over the marine atmosphere in contrast to the double peak over the continent, (ii)
the mean diurnal CO over the marine atmosphere showing an increasing trend towards evening hours, (iii) the amplitude of the
AN peaks over the marine atmosphere was ∼ 100 ppbv, while at a remote island site in the Indian Ocean it was ∼ 5 ppbv and
(iv) high CO values were observed close to continent and the long range transport by wind also caused CO highs. 相似文献

An interannual study on zooplankton abundance, biomass, and species composition was carried out during different seasons in two local coastal water types off Gopalpur, north-western Bay of Bengal. Although, Type-1 was observed with higher zooplankton abundance in comparison to Type-2, pattern of variation followed similar seasonal trends in both water types during individual years. Well pronounced seasonality was observed in zooplankton distribution. Zooplankton community was composed of 217 holoplankton and 22 meroplankton. The holoplankton community was predominated by copepod in terms of species diversity and abundance followed by hydrozoa, tintinnida, malacostraca, gastropoda, chaetognatha and chordata. The meroplankton were represented by larval forms viz. bivalve veliger, brachyuran zoea larvae, caridean larvae, copepod nauplii, fish egg and gastropod veliger. Dominance of copepod species viz. Acrocalanus longicornis, Paracalanus aculeatus and Paracalanus parvus were observed frequently in both water types. The species richness was higher in Type-1 in comparison to Type-2 during both the years. Salinity regimes and availability of phytoplankton prey influenced the distribution and species composition of zooplankton assemblage. 相似文献

Quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) has been attempted over the Narmada Catchment following a statistical approach.
The catchment has been divided into five sub-regions for the development of QPF models with a maximum lead-time of 24 hours.
For this purpose the data of daily rainfall from 56 raingauge stations, twice daily observations on different surface meteorological
parameters from 28 meteorological observatories and upper air data from 11 aerological stations for the nine monsoon seasons
of 1972–1980 have been utilized. The horizontal divergence, relative vorticity, vertical velocity and moisture divergence
are computed using the kinematic method at different pressure levels and used as independent variables along with the rainfall
and surface meteorological parameters. Multiple linear regression equations have been developed using the stepwise procedure
separately with actual and square root and log-transformed rainfall using 8-year data (1972–1979). When these equations were
verified with an independent data for the monsoon season of 1980, it was found that the transformed rainfall equations fared
much better compared to the actual rainfall equations. The performance of the forecasts of QPF model compared to the climatological
and persistence forecasts has been assessed by computing the verification scores using the forecasts for the monsoon season
of 1980. 相似文献

In this paper, hydroclimatic fluctuations of the Upper Narmada catchment (upto Narmadasagar damsite) have been studied by
examining the time series (1901–80) of (i) 1-to 10-day annual extreme rainfall; (ii) seasonal total rainfall between May and
October; (iii) the precipitation concentration index (PCI); (iv) a modified version of PCI(MPCI); and (v) parameters of the
periods contributing specified percentages of rainfall to annual total. Most of these parameters followed the normal distribution
and did not show any significant long-term trend. However, some dominant long period oscillations have been noticed in extreme
rainfall, seasonal rainfall, PCI and MPCI series. Influence of break-monsoon days over India during July and August on the
rainfall activities of the Upper Narmada catchment has also been investigated and salient findings discussed. 相似文献

Geological studies of the area around Katta, in the southern part of the Ratnagiri District of Maharashtra, were carried out with the help of visual remote sensing techniques using LANDSAT imageries on 1:250,000 scale and aerial photographs on 1:60,000 scale. The major stratigraphic units represented in the area under study are the Archean Complex, Kaladgi Supergroup, Deccan Trap, Laterite and Alluvium. The Kaladgis unconformably overlie the Archean metasediments and also at places exhibit faulted contacts with the latter. The major part of the area is covered by a thick evergreen vegetation. The interpretation followed by field work and laboratory work revealed the following:
- The different lithologic units could be delineated on the aerial photographs.
- Different lineaments marked on the imagery were found to be due either to faults or fracture zones. Some of the older faults appear to have been rejuvenated after the formation of the laterites.
- Some of the lithologic horizons can be identified on the Landsat imagery by virtue of their spatial signatures.

Summary In a previous study the authors have estimated the probable maximum precipitation (PMP) for a 2-day duration using Hershfield's formulaX

for stations in the southern Indian region. In this paper, the study is extended to estimate the PMP for stations in the north Indian region, north of 20°N. Maximum annual 2-day rainfall data for an 80-year period, from 1901, were obtained for 286 stations in the region. A mathematical relationship between the frequency factor (k

and, subsequently, to estimate 2-day PMP values for the 286 stations. Using these PMP estimates, a generalised chart was prepared, showing the spatial distribution of 2-day PMP. It was found that 2-day PMP over the north Indian region varied from 60 cm to 130 cm, and the average ratio of the 2-day PMP to the highest observed 2-day rainfall was found to be 1.91. The results show that there have been instances when almost 2-day point PMP have occurred at some of the stations in the region. These results indicate that the statistically estimated PMP rainall are not therefore, mere theoretical estimates, but they can occur under optimum meteorological conditions.With 4 Figures 相似文献

A suite of statistical atmosphere-only linear inverse models of varying complexity are used to hindcast recent MJO events from the Year of Tropical Convection and the Cooperative Indian Ocean Experiment on Intraseasonal Variability/Dynamics of the Madden–Julian Oscillation mission periods, as well as over the 2000–2009 time period. Skill exists for over two weeks, competitive with the skill of some numerical models in both bivariate correlation and root-mean-squared-error scores during both observational mission periods. Skill is higher during mature Madden–Julian Oscillation conditions, as opposed to during growth phases, suggesting that growth dynamics may be more complex or non-linear since they are not as well captured by a linear model. There is little prediction skill gained by including non-leading modes of variability. 相似文献
