Seasonal variation of the salinity in the Zuari estuary, Goa
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1987)
The annual salt budget of the Zuari is examined. The characteristics of the estuary differ markedly from the low run off season during November - May to the heavy run off period of the southwest monsoon from June to October. ...
Monsoon induced seasonal variability of sheltered versus exposed beaches along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 1987)
Changes in profile configuration of the beaches at different locations along the west coast of India have been quantitatively compared by means of Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. These beaches, though exposed ...
Watermass structure in the western Indian Ocean: Part 1. Watermasses and their thermohaline indices
(India Meteorological Department, 1986)
The concept of "Indian Ocean Common Watermass" is introduced and its characteristics are defined. The temperature-salinity structures which would result when one, two or more watermasses of different temperature and salinity ...
Viscous damping of solitary waves in the mud banks of Kerala, West coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
Analysis of wave damping in mud bank region following the process of transfer of wave energy to the interior of fluid column through the boundary layer and the energy loss computations owing to viscous shear beneath the ...
Wave-induced nearshore circulation along the Calangute-Candolim beach, Goa, West coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1989)
The wave-induced nearshore circulation model suggested by Noda has been modified and applied for three small segments along the coast of Goa. The present model incorporates the prevailing bottom topography and considers ...
Wind stress, curl and vertical velocity in the Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon, 1984
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Wind distribution observed during southwest monsoon of 1984 has used to derive the mean wind stress for the season at every 1 degree square grid and curl over the Bay of Bengal. Two regions of maximum wind stress are present ...
The environmental characteristics of the Ganga estuary
(Sea Explorers Institute, 1989)
This report presents physical, chemical and biological observations in the last 160 km stretch of river Ganga for period of 3 years. In the one-layer estuary the mixing is brought about by the horizontal gradient of the ...
Response of Barrier beaches along the southwest coast of India to monsoonal forcing
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1987)
The response of a small stretch of barrier beach along the southern part of the west coast of India to the southwest wind and wave climates showed wide variations when examined through empirical Eigen function analysis. ...
Gyres in the NW Bay of Bengal - Some observed evidences
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Continuous observations of temperature, salinity and the flow at 4 stations off the rivers of Krishna, Godavari, Mahanadi and off New Moore Island, along the east coast of India, were made prior to the onset of the SW ...
Watermass structure in the western Indian Ocean - Part 2. The spreading and transformation of the Persian Gulf water
(India Meteorological Department, 1986)
The spreading and the transformation of the Persian Gulf Watermass (PGW) in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean have been presented. The core layer of this watermass is found in the depth range of 250-300 m over most of ...
