Evolution of wave spectra during sea breeze and tropical cyclone
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
Wave spectral components change with time and through space by receiving energy from wind, through non-linear energy transfer among the spectral components and dissipation due to white-capping and friction. Changes in wave ...
Spectral peak wave period climatology and its relationship with natural climate variability over the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2021)
The predominance of swells or wind-seas at a location can be inferred from the spectral peak wave period (Tp). The present study examines the climatology of Tp and its variability in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the last ...
Tidal hydrodynamics and flushing characteristics of Gulf of Khambhat, west coast of India - A numerical approach
(Springer, 2021)
Tidal hydrodynamics of the Gulf of Khambhat (GoK) were studied with the observed and simulated datasets. The Cushing time of the Gulf was estimated using the 2D-model calibrated and validated with the tide and current speed ...
Identification of wave systems in the multimodal sea state along the Indian shelf seas
(Springer, 2021)
The coexistence of multiple wave systems generated locally and by remote storms is common in the ocean and its quantification is required in the design of marine facilities. This study identifies the multimodal sea states ...
Response of ocean surface waves to the co-occurrence of Boreal Summer Intra-Seasonal Oscillation and El Nino Southern Oscillation
(Springer, 2021)
Studies related to the combined effect of different atmospheric oscillations on the ocean surface waves are limited. The present study focuses on the change in wave climatology due to the combined effect of Boreal Summer ...
Sedimentological responses to coastal dynamics along the Thane District, North Maharashtra, West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
We present the results of sedimentological responses to coastal dynamics of the Arnala beach, located between Vaitarna and Ulhas rivers, Thane district, Maharashtra, India. The coast is remarkably flat and wide and in the ...
Evaluation of wave growth and bottom friction parameterization schemes in the SWAN based on wave modelling for the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
In the present study, SWAN wave model is nested with Wavewatch 3 to reproduce waves off the central west coast of India using ERA-5 winds. The sensitivity of SWAN wave model was tested with different wave growth and bottom ...
A numerical investigation on the tide-induced residence time and its association with the suspended sediment concentration in Gulf of Khambhat, northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
A 2D-numerical model is used to estimate suspended sediment (SS) transport and residence time (RT) of the Gulf of Khambhat (Gulf). Tidal current, as well as bottom topography, play a key role in sediment entrapment inside ...
The maxima in northerly wind speeds and wave heights over the Arabian Sea, the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Red Sea derived from 40 years of ERA5 data
(Springer, 2021)
Recent studies point out the importance of northerly winds and waves in the Arabian Sea, especially those due to shamal and makran events in addition to the northeast monsoon system. We have analyzed climatology and trends ...
Spatial distribution of waves and wave-induced littoral drift along the nearshore regions of the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
The spatial distribution of nearshore wave characteristics and wave-induced littoral drift along the Central West Coast of India (CWCI) is investigated using a wave transformation model. Previous approaches in littoral ...
