Features of locally and remotely generated surface gravity waves in the inner‐shelf region of northwestern Bay of Bengal - M. Anjali Nair; V. Sanil Kumar; M. M. Amrutha; V. S. N. Murty (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
In this article, we studied the characteristics of locally and remotely generated wind waves in the inner‐shelf region of northwestern Bay of Bengal (BoB) based on the measured wave data. Two well‐differentiated wave systems, one young sea from the east‐southeast and another more developed swell from the south lead to bimodality in the wave spectrum. Wind‐sea predominance is not observed in the monthly average wave spectrum and in all the months swells dominated indicating a swell‐driven wave regime. During the monsoon (JJAS), the wave climate is dominated by long‐period swell from the south‐southeast and the short fetch during the northeast monsoon (ONDJ) leads to weaker easterly swells, while the effects of the sea/land breeze influence on the wave generation are more relevant during this season. During November–April, diurnal variation of 0.15 m in significant wave height (SWH) is observed. The study based on seasonally averaged ERA‐Interim reanalysis data reveals a weak connection between the waves in the northwestern BoB and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events. The waves are influenced by ENSO events during June–September and by IOD events during October–January, which consequently caused inter‐annual variations in monthly average SWH. The present study, however, did not show a significant inter‐annual variability in annual mean SWH during 1979–2015.

White spot syndrome virus ( WSSV )‐infected shrimp samples collected from grow‐out ponds located at Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India, showed WSSV negative and positive by PCR using primer sets specific to ORF 119 and VP 28 gene of WSSV , respectively. This indicated the deletion of genetic fragments in the genome of WSSV . The WSSV isolate along with lab strain of WSSV was subjected to next‐generation sequencing. The sequence analysis revealed a deletion of 13,170 bp at five positions in the genome of WSSV ‐ NS (new strain) relative to WSSV ‐ TH and WSSV ‐ LS (lab strain). The PCR analysis using the ORF 's specific primer sets revealed the complete deletion of 10 ORF s in the genome of WSSV ‐ NS strain. The primer set was designed based on sequence covering ORF 161/162/163 to amplify a product of 2,748 bp for WSSV ‐ LS and 402 bp for WSSV ‐ NS . Our surveillance programme carried out since 2002 revealed the replacement of WSSV ‐ LS by WSSV ‐ NS in Indian shrimp culture system.

Standardization of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) Method of Water Management in Lowland Rice ( ORYZA Sativa L.) for Upscaling in Command Outlets - Kishor Mote; V. Praveen Rao; V. Ramulu; K. Avil Kumar; M. Uma Devi (Irrigation and Drainage, 2018)
The experiment was conducted in irrigated lowlands and followed alternate wetting and drying (AWD) practices by using field water tubes. The site had sandy clay soil. Grain yield was 6.0–7.2 t ha −1 with AWD irrigation and 7.5 t ha −1 with continuous submergence irrigation. Non‐significant ( P > 0.05) difference was registered in yield attributes and grain yield between continuous submergence of irrigation and I 5 (AWD irrigation regime of 5 cm submergence depth from 15 DAT (days after transplanting) to physiological maturity when the ponded water level drops to 5 cm below ground level) and I 6 (AWD irrigation regime of 5 cm submergence depth from 15 DAT to physiological maturity when the ponded water level drops to 10 cm below ground level). There was a decrease in yield attributes and grain yield with the I 4 (AWD irrigation regime of 3 cm submergence depth from 15 DAT to physiological maturity when the ponded water level drops to 15 cm below ground level). Of various irrigation regimes, AWD irrigation regimes of I 5 ( 57 900 ha −1 ) and I 6 ( 56 500 ha −1 ) registered higher net returns with a B: C ratio of 1.27 and 1.29, respectively, owing to higher grain yield coupled with lower application of water.

To accelerate genetic gains in breeding, physiological trait (PT) characterization of candidate parents can help make more strategic crosses, increasing the probability of accumulating favorable alleles compared to crossing relatively uncharacterized lines. In this study, crosses were designed to complement “source” with “sink” traits, where at least one parent was selected for favorable expression of biomass and/or radiation use efficiency—source—and the other for sink-related traits like harvest-index, kernel weight and grains per spike. Female parents were selected from among genetic resources—including landraces and products of wide-crossing (i.e. synthetic wheat)—that had been evaluated in Mexico at high yield potential or under heat stress, while elite lines were used as males. Progeny of crosses were advanced to the F 4 generation within Mexico, and F 4 -derived F 5 and F 6 generations were yield tested to populate four international nurseries, targeted to high yield environments (2nd and 3rd WYCYT) for yield potential, and heat stressed environments (2nd and 4th SATYN) for climate resilience, respectively. Each nursery was grown as multi-location yield trials. Genetic gains were achieved in both temperate and hot environments, with most new PT-derived lines expressing superior yield and biomass compared to local checks at almost all international sites. Furthermore, the tendency across all four nurseries indicated either the superiority of the best new PT lines compared with the CIMMYT elite checks, or the superiority of all new PT lines as a group compared with all checks, and in some cases, both. Results support—in a realistic breeding context—the hypothesis that yield and radiation use efficiency can be increased by improving source:sink balance, and validate the feasibility of incorporating exotic germplasm into mainstream breeding efforts to accelerate genetic gains for yield potential and climate resilience.

Observation of dominance of swells over wind seas in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mannar, India - M. M. Amrutha; V. Sanil Kumar (Ocean Science, 2017)
Wind seas typically dominate over swell seas in coastal gulfs. Waves measured at a location having a water depth of 12 m in the near-shore waters of the Gulf of Mannar during a 1-year period (1 May 2015 to 30 April 2016) are used to examine the predominance of wind seas and swells through spectral characterization. The study shows that even though the location is in a gulf, the annual average value ( ∼ 0.84 m) of the significant wave height in this area is comparable to that along the coastal waters of the Indian subcontinent, but the annual maximum value ( ∼ 1.7 m) recorded is much less than that (3 to 5 m) observed in those regions. Also, large seasonal variations are not observed in the wave height. The waves of the study region are under the control of sea breeze, with the maximum in the late evening hours and the minimum in the early morning hours. A 5 % increase in the forcing wind field during the monsoon period improved the comparison statistics between the model wave height and the measured values. A total of 53 % of the surface height variance in the study area is a result of swells from the southeast and south, and the remainder are wind seas from the east and southeast.

Wave spectral shapes in the coastal waters based on measured data off Karwar on the western coast of India - M. Anjali Nair; V. Sanil Kumar (Ocean Science, 2017)
An understanding of the wave spectral shapes is of primary importance for the design of marine facilities. In this paper, the wave spectra collected from January 2011 to December 2015 in the coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea using the moored directional waverider buoy are examined to determine the temporal variations in the wave spectral shape. Over an annual cycle for 31.15 % of the time, the peak frequency is between 0.08 and 0.10 Hz; the significant wave height is also relatively high (∼ 1.55 m) for waves in this class. The slope of the high-frequency tail of the monthly average wave spectra is high during the Indian summer monsoon period (June–September) compared to other months, and it increases with an increase in significant wave height. There is not much interannual variation in the slope for swell-dominated spectra during the monsoon, while in the non-monsoon period when wind-seas have a high level of influence, the slope varies significantly. Since the exponent of the high-frequency part of the wave spectrum is within the range of −4 to −3 during the monsoon period, the Donelan spectrum shows a better fit for the high-frequency part of the wave spectra in monsoon months compared to other months.

Observed spatio‐temporal changes of winter snow albedo over the north‐west Himalaya - H. S. Negi; P. Datt; N. K. Thakur; A. Ganju; V. K. Bhatia; G. Vinay Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
This study presents the spatio‐temporal winter snow albedo analysis over different mountain ranges of north‐west Himalaya ( NWH ) for a period of approximately 24 years. Here we assess the temporal albedo variations in past two decades (1991–2010) in comparison to the recent 14 years (2000–2014). The field collected manual data of two representative observatories of Lower Himalaya ( LH ) and Great Himalaya ( GH ), and six automatic weather stations in LH , GH and Karakoram Himalaya ( KH ) were analysed. Satellite derived MODIS albedo data (MOD10A1) over these stations between 2001 and 2014 were analysed. A good correlation ( r = 0.59) was observed between monthly average MODIS retrieved albedo and field collected albedo for GH with a relative error of 11%. In past two decades, a statistically significant (99%) decreasing rate of −0.011 per year in winter snow albedo was observed over GH (1993–2010), while in recent decade (2001 onward), no statistically significant increasing trend was observed. The change in albedo of GH is attributed to winter mean air temperature, which shows a significant rise in the past two decades, but there has been a hiatus in winter mean air temperature rise in recent decade. The higher winter mean air temperature above 0 °C since beginning of the study period (1991 onward) kept albedo of moist/wet snow approximately stable in LH . Further, insignificant increasing trend of albedo was observed over KH range in recent decade, and it is attributed to persistent very low temperatures and an increase in the frequency of snowfall days. This albedo study over NWH supports the recently reported findings on Himalayan snow cover and glacier variations during different durations.
