[1] A 4.5-layer model of the Indian Ocean coupled to a four-component (NPZD) ecosystem model is used to study the phytoplankton bloom in the Bay of Bengal during the Northeast Monsoon of 1996. The model realistically simulates the surface chlorophyll bloom observed by satellite-derived ocean-color images in the western Bay of Bengal during that time. It also reproduces the subsurface chlorophyl...

[1] The responses of tropical cyclone (TC) potential intensity (PI) and the associated environmental control parameters over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) to the doubled CO2 concentration are assessed based on the ensemble simulation from 15 coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) participated in the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) Forth Assessment Report (AR4). The results ...

Copper and its alloys are extensively used in marine applications due to high corrosion resistant behavior. But the immunity of copper varies with environmental factors especially sea water ingredients. Many researchers investigated level materials different oceans/seas. Unfortunately, such study is missing Bay Bengal water. Moreover, inclusion alloying elements can have influence on behavior c...
