Characteristics, seasonal distribution and surface degradation features of microplastic pellets along the Goa coast, India
(Elsevier, 2016)
Microplastic pellets (MPPs) are ubiquitous contaminants, recognised as a serious threat to the biota in coastal, estuarine and marine environment. The distribution, abundance, weathering and chemical characteristics of ...
Wave directional spectrum from SAR imagery
(Indian Society of Remote Sensing, Deharadun, 2000)
Gaussian smoothed SAR image spectra have been evaluated from 512 x 512 pixel subscenes of image mode ERS-1 SAR scenes off Goa, Visakhapatnam, Paradeep and Portugal. The two recently acquired scenes off Portugal showed the ...
Residence time of pollutants discharged in the Gulf of Kachchh, northwestern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2012)
A 2D Hydrodynamic-Particle Analysis model was applied to the Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) to estimate the residence time of pollutants. The tidal currents in the Gulf have a strong E-W component, which prevents the material in ...
Stability of a sand spit due to dredging in an adjacent creek
(Elsevier, 2007)
The Jatadharmohan creek lies between Mahanadi and Devi Rivers along the Orissa coast and it is separated from the sea by an elongated sand spit. It was proposed to mine a volume of 15 x 10 sup(6) m³ of sand from the creek ...
Coastal erosion triggered by a shipwreck along the coast of Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2013)
Temporal satellite imageries (1999, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2011), wave model (DHI) results and field measurements have been used to evaluate whether the grounded ship MV River Princess played a role in triggering erosion ...
Change detection studies in coastal zone features of Goa, India by remote sensing
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
Digital remote sensing data of SPOT-1 (Nov. 1990), IRS-1C (Jan. 2001) and IRS-1D (Jan. 2003) have been subject to maximum likelihood classifier (MLC) to carry out change detection studies in the coastal zone of Goa. The ...
Seasonal occurrence of unique sediment plume in the Bay of Bengal
(AGU, 2008)
The movement of sediment plumes, detectable from ocean color sensors, depends primarily on coastal circulation. Hence, sediment plumes become tracers for studying circulation patterns. The Indian remote sensing satellite ...
Verification of model wave heights with long-term moored buoy data: Application to wave field over the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2015)
This paper describes the results obtained using a modified version (ModWAM) of the global wave model WAM, in which new parameterizations have been applied based on the seasonal changes and extreme weather events that have ...
Storm surges in the Singapore Strait due to winds in the South China Sea
(Springer, 2013)
Among the semi-enclosed basins of the world ocean, the South China Sea (SCS) is unique in its configuration as it lies under the main southwest-northeast pathway of the seasonal monsoons. The northeast (NE) monsoon ...
Wave modelling for the North Indian Ocean using MSMR analysed winds
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)
NCMRWF (National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast) winds assimilated with MSMR (Multi-channel Scanning Microwave Radiometer) winds are used as input to MIKE21 Offshore Spectral Wave model (OSW) which takes into ...
