Tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM) TRMM microwave imager (TMI) retrieved total precipitable water (TPW) has been shown in previous studies to be useful for characterizing energy transport and rainfall variability over water bodies. In this study, 3‐day composite TPW values during the monsoon months of June–September in 1999 and 2003 were evaluated against radiosonde derived TPW over the coastal regions of Indian Ocean. The radiosonde measurements were from coastal locations, island stations and ship‐based observations made during the 1999 Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX). Our study is one of the first attempts to compare TMI‐derived TPW with the BOBMEX data. Root mean square (RMS) error of 8.1 mm and a bias of −0.76 mm were obtained for TMI 3‐day composite TPW data with respect to the radiosonde data over the Indian coastal regions. TMI overestimated (underestimated) radiosonde measurements under dry (wet) atmospheric conditions. Daily TMI‐derived TPW was also validated with radiosonde measurements from the BOBMEX data for the period 21 July–28 August 1999. Diurnal signals of TPW over Bay of Bengal were found to be comparable to the in situ measurements during the same period. Copyright © 2006 Royal Meteorological Society

Molecular characterization of thermostable direct haemolysin‐related haemolysin (TRH)‐positive Vibrio parahaemolyticus from oysters in Mangalore, India - Ammini Parvathi; H. Sanath Kumar; Amarbahadur Bhanumathi; Masanori Ishibashi; Mitsuaki Nishibuchi; Indrani Karunasagar; Iddya Karunasagar (Environmental Microbiology, 2006)
Summary Pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains producing either or both of a thermostable direct haemolysin (TDH) and a TDH‐related haemolysin (TRH) encoded by tdh and trh genes, respectively, are isolated at a low rate from the environment. However, recently we observed that a considerable percentage of APW (alkaline peptone water) enrichment broths of oysters collected off Mangalore India, were trh + , rather than tdh + by PCR. In order to further investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of trh bearing V. parahaemolyticus in our coast, we attempted to isolate and characterize trh + V. parahaemolyticus from oysters. A total of 27 trh + strains were isolated during the period between March 2002 and February 2004, of which nine were also tdh + . All the trh + isolates were positive for urease phenotype. The isolates belonged to diverse phenotypes. In order to explore the possible presence of heterogeneity in the trh gene region among trh + V. parahaemolyticus , a 1.5 kb region around trh gene was PCR amplified and restriction digested using selected restriction enzymes. The whole genome comparison of strains was performed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD PCR). The PCR‐RFLP results revealed fairly well conserved nature of the trh gene region studied in different serotypes. Though 11 strains were positive by PCR for a genomic fragment that has been reported to be amplified in pandemic strains, all strains were negative by group‐specific PCR (GS‐PCR), orf8 PCR and showed a different RAPD pattern compared with pandemic strains. The results suggest that genetically diverse V. parahaemolyticus carrying virulence genes are associated with the aquatic environment in this region.

Study of the occurrence of Vibrio vulnificus in oysters in India by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and heterogeneity among V. vulnificus by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR and gyrB sequence analysis - Ammini Parvathi; H. Sanath Kumar; Indrani Karunasagar; Iddya Karunasagar (Environmental Microbiology, 2005)
Summary The pathogenic bacterium Vibrio vulnificus is widely distributed in estuarine waters throughout the world. In this study, the presence of V. vulnificus in oysters was studied both by conventional culture and DNA‐based molecular technique. Following enrichment in alkaline peptone water (APW), the bacteria were lysed and a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for vvhA gene was performed. The effect of duration of enrichment on the sensitivity of detection by PCR was evaluated. The organism was isolated from 43% of samples after 18 h enrichment in APW by conventional culture method. Nested PCR amplifying a fragment of vvhA gene detected the organism in 11%, 60% and 81% of samples following 0, 6 and 18 h of enrichment. All the biochemically identified V. vulnificus strains possessed vvhA gene and belonged to biotype 1. The genetic relatedness among the strains was studied by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR and gyrB sequence analysis. The results suggest the presence of two distinct clonal groups of V. vulnificus in oysters in India. The study demonstrates, for the first time that gyrB sequence analysis could be used to study the genetic diversity of V. vulnificus .

Northeast monsoon rainfall variability over south peninsular India vis‐à‐vis the Indian Ocean dipole mode - R. H. Kripalani; Pankaj Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2004)
Whereas the June through to September southwest summer monsoon season over the Indian subcontinent has been the main focus of research, the October through to December northeast monsoon season over south peninsular India has received less attention. Hence, this study focuses on the northeast monsoon rainfall (NEMR) variability using historical data for a 131 year period (1871–2001) and its relationship with the neighbouring Indian Ocean sea‐surface temperature (SST). Based on the observed available rainfall data, a time series of NEMR over the coherent south peninsular India has been developed. Similarly, an index to quantify the Indian Ocean dipole mode (IODM), exhibiting warm (cool) waters over the equatorial western (southeastern) Indian Ocean, has been developed using GISST data for the same period. The dynamics of the NEMR–IODM relationship are examined with the National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis data. Interannual and decadal variabilities in NEMR reveal alternate epochs of above‐ and below‐normal rainfall. The epochs tend to last for about a decade or two. Rainfall epochs near the equatorial Indian Ocean tend to last for about a decade. No long‐term trends in NEMR are noted. On the other hand, the decadal variability in the IODM reveals a dominance of the negative phase during the earlier decades (1880–1920) and a positive phase during recent decades (1960–2000), with suppressed activity in between. Long‐term variability in the IODM clearly reveals an increasing trend, which could be related to greenhouse warming. Further, the NEMR variability is enhanced during the decades when the IODM exhibits its active phase, and is suppressed during the decades when the IODM is inactive. The NEMR and the IODM are directly related, suggesting that the positive (negative) phase enhances (suppresses) the northeast monsoon activity. During the positive phase, the anomalous flow pattern shows winds converging and suggesting moisture transport from the southeast Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal towards south peninsular India. In contrast, the negative phase reveals winds diverging and transporting moisture away from the south Indian region. The anomalous SST and circulation features associated with the positive IOD/excess rainfall and negative IOD/deficient rainfall are consistent and clearly bring out the coupled ocean–atmosphere dynamics over the Indian Ocean. These results show the direct influence of the IODM phenomenon on the interannual and decadal NEMR variability over south India. Copyright © 2004 Royal Meteorological Society

A hierarchical analysis of minisatellite DNA diversity in Gambel oak ( Quercus gambelii Nutt.; Fagaceae) - A. KUMAR; S. H. ROGSTAD (Molecular Ecology, 1998)
Gambel oak is a short shrub to medium‐sized tree of southwest North America for which the potential to grow in large clonal stands has been proposed. Here we use three different multilocus VNTR DNA probes (synthesized via PCR) to demonstrate that clones growing together can be identified, but individual clones exceeding 50 m in diameter do not commonly occur in the study population of Quercus gambelii . Further, using a hierarchical sampling scheme (three circular transects with diameters of 9, 1100, and 28 000 m), we estimate that for nonclonal individuals: (i) mean number of bands analysed per individual = 22.92; (ii) mean similarity (band sharing) between individuals = 0.322; (iii) mean probability that two randomly chosen individuals share all bands = 4.93 × 10 –11 ; and (iv) mean estimated heterozygosity = 0.796. F ST calculated for the two nonclonal levels of the sampling hierarchy was 0.023, indicating that little genetic differentiation exists between them. These results support previous findings that, due to life‐history traits of the genus and this species (out‐crossing, wind‐pollinated, animal‐dispersed, long‐lived woody perennials), gene flow is high and genetic subdivision of populations is low in oaks. At this study site, the clonal nature demonstrated for Gambel oak appears to have little detectable effect on these population genetic characteristics.
