Coastal processes along north Kakinada Coast, Andhra Pradesh based on short-term study
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2004)
Kakinada is situated in the central part of the Andhra Pradesh State on the east coast of India. To cater to recreational activities of the people in this coastal town, the Andhra Pradesh State Government has taken up an ...
Wave characteristics around Sittwe Port, Myanmar
(Naval Science and Technological Laboratory, Visakhapatnam, 2006)
This paper presents wave characteristics estimated around Sittwe port, which is located on the Paton Peninsula, Myanmar. Wind data recorded from January 1998 to December 2001 at Sittwe port was used for estimation of wave ...
Shoreline changes along the Poompuhar Tranquebar region
(Society for Marine Archaeology, NIO, 2006)
Poompuhar, a flourishing port in the beginning of the Christian era played a major role in maritime activities and cultural expansion in the history of India. The marine archaeological explorations around Poompuhar brought ...
Prediction of littoral drift with artificial neural networks
(Copernicus, 2008)
The amount of sand moving parallel to a coastline forms a prerequisite for many harbor design projects. Such information is currently obtained through various empirical formulae. Despite so many works in the past an accurate ...
Directional spread parameter at intermediate water depth
(Pergamon, 2000)
The characteristics of directional spread parameters at intermediate water depth are investigated based on a cosine power '2s' directional spreading model. This is based on wave measurements carried out using a Datawell ...
Longshore currents and sediment trnsport along Kannirajapuram Coast, Tamilnadu, India
(Coastal Research Foundation, 2000)
The objective of the study was to estimate longshore current and sediment transport from measured wave data and from the observations on the littoral environment. A directional wave rider buoy was deployed at 12m water ...
Longshore transport based on directional waves along north Tamilnadu Coast, India
(Coastal Research Foundation, 2001)
The accurate assessment of longshore sediment transport pattern along Nagapattinam-Poompuhar, Tamil Nadu, India coastline bears significance due to the historical erosion and its geographical location adjoining the sheltered ...
Nearshore processes along north Karnataka coast
(Allied, Chennai, 2001)
Ten base stations were established along the shoreline between Karwar and Bhatkal and monthly beach profiles, breaking wave characteristics and longshore currents were measured for a period of one year. The lowest beach ...
Multipeakedness and groupiness of shallow water waves along Indian coast
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2003)
Based on one year wave data collected at 4 locations along the Indian coast, the frequency of occurrence of double-peaked spectra was estimated. It was found that 40% of the data analysed was single-peaked. The double ...
Estimation of wave characteristics during hurricane in the Hoian area, central Vietnam
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2004)
The data of hurricanes crossed the coastline from 14 degree N to 17 degree N, in the vicinity of the Hoian coastline, from 1945 to 2003 were extracted from the National Weather Service, USA. The features such as velocity ...
