The recent first-field phase of Indian Ocean Experiment has provided various types of aerosol data over the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. Using optical sensors on-board numerous satellites, global aerosol parameters have been estimated by many workers. In this communication, we have used IRS P4 OCM data to retrieve the aerosol parameters over the Arabian Sea and the Bay o...

More than 2000 measurements of atmospheric and dissolved methane (CH4) were performed in the central and northwestern Arabian Sea as part of the German JGOFS Arabian Sea Process Study during three cruises in March, May/June, and June/July 1997. Mean CH4 saturations in the surface waters of the central Arabian Sea were in the range of 103-107%. Significantly enhanced saturations were observed in...

A structural and petrological study of the Late Proterozoic rocks in the Wadi Kid area, Sinai, Egypt indicates the presence of an extensional metamorphic core complex in the northern Arabian–Nubian Shield. Gneissic domes throughout the Arabian–Nubian Shield resemble the core complex of the Wadi Kid area and as a result, they are interpreted as extensional metamorphic core complexes. The presenc...

The lack of a standard muzzle print database is a challenge for conducting researches in Arabian horse identification systems. Therefore, collecting a muzzle print images database is a crucial decision. The dataset presented in this paper is an option for the studies that need a dataset for testing and comparing the algorithms under development for Arabian horse identification. Our collected da...

Almost all climate models in Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project phase five (CMIP5) were found to have a cold bias in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) over the northern Arabian Sea, which is linked to the biases in the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM). This cold SST bias was attributed to the anomalous cold winds from the north-western part of south Asian landmass during boreal winter. However, the ...

The Arabian species of the Tetramoriumsquaminode-group are treated. Tetramoriumsquaminode Santschi, 1911 is recorded for the first time from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula. Keys to the two Arabian species of the Tetramoriumsquaminode-group, Tetramoriumlatinode Collingwood & Agosti, 1996 and Tetramoriumsquaminode, based on worker and queen castes, are given and a regional ...

Incidence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) in the Saudi Arabian population has not been studied before. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to define the population-based incidence rates and histopathological types of MOGCTs in the Saudi Arabian population from 1999 to 2008. Our study showed that MOGCTs are a common type of ovarian tumors in the Saudi Arabian popula...

The Arabian plate has been converging with Eurasia for 20-30 Ma, currently at 2-3 cm/year. Convergence is manifested differently along strike, with collision and tectonic escape in the west (Anatolia) and subduction of Arabia beneath Eurasia in the east (Iran). The reason for these differences may reflect the greater density of the Arabian lithosphere in the east relative to that in the west. F...

the present experiment was conducted to determine nutritional values of wild pistachio trees (p. khinjuk) leaves it's use it in the diet of sheep. initially chemical composition of p. khinjuk leaf was determined. the diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% of p. khinjuk leaf were prepared and used for sheep to determine the best replacement level of it with corn silage. fermentation ...

Water masses of different temperature and salinity partially govern the distributions of chlorophyll concentration. In the present paper, chlorophyll concentration has been deduced over the northeastern Arabian Sea and the southern Bay of Bengal using Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) data onboard Indian Remote Sensing Series Polar satellite (IRS-P4). The chlorophyll concentration is found to be higher...
