    • Waves in shallow water off west coast of India during the onset of summer monsoon 

      SanilKumar, V.; Philip, C.S.; Nair, T.N.B. (European Geosciences Union, 2010)
      The wave growth characteristics during the onset of summer monsoon in a swell dominated open ocean at a location off the west coast of India at 14m water depth are studied. 67% of the measured waves are due to the swells ...
    • Waves in the nearshore waters of northern Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon

    • Waves in the seas 

      Varkey, M.J. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
      Not all sea waves look alike in form. Scientists, in fact, classify all waves into definite groups, which can be simulated on a computer using specific models. Thus there are many types of wave forms on the sea surface ...
