Stratification (throughout the year) and low solar radiation (during monsoon periods) have caused low chlorophyll a and primary production (seasonal average 13–18 mg m−2 and 242–265 mg C m−2 d−1, respectively) in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB). The microzooplankton (MZP) community of BoB was numerically dominated by heterotrophic dinoflagellates (HDS) followed by ciliates (CTS). The highest MZP abundance (average 665±226×104 m−2), biomass (average 260±145 mg C m−2) and species diversity (Shannon weaver index 2.8±0.42 for CTS and 2.6±0.35 for HDS) have occurred during the spring intermonsoon (SIM). This might be due to high abundance of smaller phytoplankton in the western BoB during SIM as a consequence of intense stratification and nitrate limitation (nitracline at 60 m depth). The strong stratification during SIM was biologically evidenced by intense blooms of Trichodesmium erythraeum and frequent Synechococcus–HDS associations. The high abundance of smaller phytoplankton favors microbial food webs where photosynthetic carbon is channeled to higher trophic levels through MZP. This causes less efficient transfer of primary organic carbon to higher trophic levels than through the traditional food web. The microbial food web dominant in the western BoB during SIM might be responsible for the lowest mesozooplankton biomass observed (average 223 mg C m−2). The long residence time of the organic carbon in the surface waters due to the active herbivorous pathways of the microbial food web could be a causative factor for the low vertical flux of biogenic carbon during SIM. 相似文献

The propagationmechanism of low latitude daytime whistlers is investigated on the basis of ground measurements made continuously
during daytime in North India at Jammu (geomag. lat. 22°26°N;L = 1.17). On February 14, 1998 extremely small dispersion (ESD)
whistlers with dispersion varying from 5–10 sec1/2 in surprisingly large numbers were recorded at Jammu during daytime in the late afternoon. The results of a study of the
characteristics of ESD whistlers are presented and the discussion indicates that ESD whistlers recorded are the VLF waves
radiated from the return stroke of the lightning discharge launched at the ionosphere with different initial wave normal angles,
propagated upwards under eitherquasi-longitudinal conditions or pro-longitudinal whistler mode, turned around at different
heights due to quasi-transverse propagation and received at Jammu with the dispersion of the order of 5–10 sec1/2. The validity of this suggestion has been tested by performing actualray-tracing computations in thepresence of equatorial
anomaly model.

Estimating potential landslide sites of an upland sub-watershed in Western Ghat’s of Kerala (India) through frequency ratio and GIS 总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10
The purpose of this study is to assess the susceptibility of landslides in parts of Western Ghats, Kerala, India, using a
geographical information system (GIS). Landslide inventory of the area was made by detailed field surveys and the analysis
of the topographical maps. The landslide triggering factors are considered to be slope angle, slope aspect, slope curvature,
slope length, distance from drainage, distance from lineaments, lithology, land use and geomorphology. ArcGIS version 8.3
was used to manipulate and analyse all the collected data. Probabilistic-likelihood ratio was used to create a landslide susceptibility
map for the study area. The result was validated using the Area under Curve (AUC) method and temporal data of landslide occurrences.
The validation results showed satisfactory agreement between the susceptibility map and the existing data on landslide locations.
As the result, the success rate of the model was (84.46%) and the prediction rate of the model was (82.38%) shows high prediction
accuracy. In the reclassified final landslide susceptibility zone map, 5.68% of the total area is classified as critical in
nature. The landslide susceptibility map thus produced can be used to reduce hazards associated with landslides and to land
cover planning. 相似文献

Two meteor events which were sighted in the Gujarat skies of India, were accompained by the visibility of sporadicE ionization on the ionograms recorded at Ahmedabad (Geog. Lat. 23·2°N, long. 72·30°E). The first event was the Dhajala fireball
which flashed into the geoatmosphere along an E-N to W-S trail at about 20·40 h IST on 28 January 1976; the closest distance
of the ground projection of meteor trail from Ahmedabad was 50km. The other event was a possible meteor group sighted over
Ahmedabad on 28 May 1978, at about 21·10 h IST. This work describes the nature of the sporadicE ionization observed on Ahmedabad ionograms during the two events. Features of theEs echo during the Dhajala event which indicate that it could be of meteoric origin are discussed. Meteor theory is used to
relate the observed ionization with the physical dimensions of the Dhajala meteorite as obtained by other workers. 相似文献

A three-dimensional numerical model is developed and used to study the coastal upwelling processes and corresponding seasonal changes in the sea level along the west coast of India. The upwelling and associated sea level variations are seen as a response of coastal ocean to pure wind stress forcing. The model is designed to represent coastal ocean physics by resolving surface and bottom Ekman layers as realistically as possible. The prognostic variables are the three components of the velocity field, temperature, salinity and turbulent energy. The governing equations together with their boundary conditions are solved by finite-difference techniques. Experiments are performed to investigate sea level fluctuations associated with the thermal response and alongshore currents of the coastal waters. The model is forced with mean monthly wind stress forcing of January, May, July and September representing northeast monsoon and different phases of the southwest monsoon. It is known from the observational study that the upwelling process reaches to the surface waters by May along the coastal waters of the extreme southwest peninsular region. The process is more intense in July compared to May and September and its strength decreases from south to north. However, during the northeast monsoon season, which is represented by January wind stress forcing in the model, downwelling is simulated along the coast. The model simulations of the coastal response are compared with the observations and are found to be in good agreement. The maximum computed vertical velocity of about 2.0 2 10 -3 cm s -1 is predicted in July in the southern region off the coast. 相似文献

The cruise conducted in the spring inter-monsoon (pre-monsoon) of April 2015 in the frame of a funded project epitomized an open ocean survey that allowed procuring a quasi-synoptic picture of cyclopoid copepod community structure in 18 open ocean stations of the Minicoy Island, Lakshadweep archipelago, off the southwestern Indian coast, based on the analysis of standing stock and composition in the integrated 0–10 m water column. The main objective was to explore the community structure of cyclopoid copepods prevailing here and which environmental variable influences the same. It is witnessed that sea surface temperature (SST) (30.42 ± 0.19°C), sea surface salinity (SSS) (33.56 ± 1.15 psu), and dissolved oxygen (DO) (4.32 ± 0.06 ml/L) with SSS and DO are the best matching variables diversifying cyclopoid copepod species (av. abundance 700 ± 386 no. of individuals/100 m3). Average zooplankton biomass (0.03 ml/m3) and abundance (8,989 ± 3,866 no. of individuals/100 m3) were also observed. Fifty-one cyclopoid copepod species belonging to four families and seven genera were identified, with the dominance of high saline species such as Sapphirina, Copilia, Farranula, and Oncaea. An abundance biomass curve (ABC) plot analysis indicated an undisturbed community with normal environmental conditions. TAXDTEST (taxonomic distinctness) depicted a diverse condition where all points clustered together within a 95% confidence level. Our results indicate that the cyclopoid copepod assemblage near Minicoy Island is a diverse, undisturbed community and hypothesize that the stable environmental conditions during pre-monsoon (spring inter-monsoon) preferred the diversification of cyclopoid copepods with the prevalence of high saline species. The data evolved could be used as a standard reference/benchmark to detect any deviation from an undisturbed/diverse community status of Minicoy Island in the looming scenario of climate change in and around the Indian Ocean. 相似文献

A GIS-based statistical methodology for landslide susceptibility zonation is described and its application to a study area
in the Western Ghats of Kerala (India) is presented. The study area was approximately 218.44 km2 and 129 landslides were identified in this area. The environmental attributes used for the landslide susceptibility analysis
include geomorphology, slope, aspect, slope length, plan curvature, profile curvature, elevation, drainage density, distance
from drainages, lineament density, distance from lineaments and land use. The quantitative relationship between landslides
and factors affecting landslides are established by the data driven-Information Value (InfoVal) — method. By applying and
integrating the InfoVal weights using ArcGIS software, a continuous scale of numerical indices (susceptibility index) is obtained
with which the study area is divided into five classes of landslide susceptibility. In order to validate the results of the
susceptibility analysis, a success rate curve was prepared. The map obtained shows that a great majority of the landslides
(74.42%) identified in the field were located in susceptible and highly susceptible zones (27.29%). The area ratio calculated
by the area under curve (AUC) method shows a prediction accuracy of 80.45%. The area having a high scale of susceptibility
lies on side slope plateaus and denudational hills with high slopes where drainage density is relatively low and terrain modification
is relatively intense. 相似文献
