Posted on 13 Jun, 2011 03:12 PM
The pocket book provides an overview of the oceans,their formation, characteristics, and the dynamics that determine their evolution. It also contains information on how the interested reader can pursue these topics further through books and websites.
The pocket book is divided into the following chapters:
Global equatorial sea-surface temperatures over the last 150,000 years: An update from foraminiferal elemental analysis – A paper in Current Science
Posted on 25 Apr, 2011 10:21 AMSolar insolation changes are amongst various factors that affect sea-surface temperature, which in turn modulate global climate. Out of all the oceanic regions, equatorial region receives the maximum solar insolation and thus is the locale for the warmest waters. However, how the equatorial sea-surface temperature affects global climate, is still not clear.
Canacona flash floods (2009): Reports submitted by the National Institute of Oceanography to the Government of Goa
Posted on 01 Mar, 2011 09:00 PMThe report is based on a study carried out with the help of National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) and attempts to (1) assemble and analyse available information to describe and identify causes behind the flash floods, and (2) suggest measures to be adopted in Goa to minimise damage arising from similar episodes in future.
