Thermohaline structure of an inverse estuary - The Gulf of Kachchh: Measurements and model simulations
(Elsevier, 2007)
The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) is situated in the northeastern Arabian Sea. The presence of several industries along its coastal belt makes GoK a highly sensitive coastal ecosystem. In the present study, an attempt is made for ...
Modification of wind-wave model WAM and its verification against buoy data in the Indian Ocean
(IIT Bombay, 2012)
An attempt is made to improve the accuracy of wave prediction in the Indian Ocean. For this purpose, two versions of the wave model WAM have been used: WAM (Cycle 4) and the new version of WAM, called NewWAM. The three ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Estimation of carrying capacity of the Gulf of Kachchh, west coast of India in relation to petroleum hydrocarbon through oil spill modeling
(Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, 2007)
The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) is a semi-enclosed basin located in the northern part of the west coast of India, and opens to the Arabian Sea. GoK is about 170 km long and 75 km wide at the mouth, and encompasses several ...
Simulation of coastal winds along the central west coast of India using the MM5 mesoscale model
(Springer, 2010)
A high-resolution mesoscale numerical model (MM5) has been used to study the coastal atmospheric circulation of the central west coast of India, and Goa in particular. The model is employed with three nested domains. The ...
Spectral analysis of wind field in the Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
To study the variability in wind fields over the Indian Ocean, we used ERA INTERIM daily winds for the period 1979-2012 In order to analyse the temporal variation of wind field, we partitioned the whole Indian Ocean into ...
Trajectory of an oil spill off Goa, eastern Arabian Sea: Field observations and simulations
(Elsevier, 2007)
An oil spill occurred off Goa, west coast of India, on 23 March 2005 due to collision of 2 vessels. In general, fair weather with weak winds prevails along the west coast of India during March. In that case, the spill would ...
Dredging of sand from a creek adjacent to a sand-spit for reclamation: Its impact on spit stability and coastal zone
(Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, 2007)
A quantity of about 17 + 10 sup(6) m sup(3) sand had been dredged from the Jatadharmohan creek (JMC) 15 km south of Paradip Port (east coast of India) in 2000, and a quantity of 14 + 10 sup(6) m sup(3) sand will be dredged ...
