Variability in stratification and flushing times of the Gautami-Godavari estuary, India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2015)
In order to examine the influence of forcing (river flow and tides) and anthropogenic activities (dredging and dam regulation) on stratification, a study was conducted over a period of 19 months (June 2008– December 2009) ...
Deep sea drilling in the Arabian Sea: Constraining tectonic-monsoon interactions in South Asia (Report)
(International Ocean Discovery Program, 2015)
The Indian (southwest) summer monsoon is one of the most intense climatic phenomena on Earth. Its long-term development has been linked to the growth of high topography in South and Central Asia. The Indian continental ...
Characteristics of long-period swells measured in the near shore regions of eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Measured wave data covering two years simultaneously at 3 locations along the eastern Arabian Sea reveals the presence of long-period (peak wave period > 18 s) low-amplitude waves (significant wave height < 1 m) and the ...
Spectral wave climatology off Ratnagiri, northeast Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2016)
Wave spectra of the measured data at 13 m water depth off Ratnagiri using the Datawell Directional waverider buoy from March 2010 to November 2014 are used to study the daily, monthly, seasonal and annual variations in the ...
Projected impact of climate change on waves at Mumbai High
(Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)
Structures built in the sea are traditionally designed according to historical climate observations or hindcasts. In geographical locations typical of India, such designs do not take the effect of future climate change ...
Chemical characterization of meltwater from East Rathong glacier vis-a-vis Western Himalayan glaciers
(Springer, 2015)
Ice and meltwater samples from Rathong glacier and its pro-glacial stream Rathong chu, were collected during late winter season. Samples were analyzed to study the chemical composition , weathering, and geochemical processes ...
Role of distinct flavours of IOD events on Indian summer monsoon
(Springer, 2016)
The summer monsoon contributes to about 75 % of mean annual rainfall over the various meteorological subdivisions of India. The role of ocean–atmosphere phenomena such as Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and El Nino-Southern ...
Salinity measurements collected by fishermen reveal a ``River in the Sea`` flowing along the eastern coast of India
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)
Being the only tropical ocean bounded by a continent to the north, the Indian Ocean is home to the most powerful monsoon system on Earth. Monsoonal rains and winds induce huge river discharges and strong coastal currents ...
Influence of upper ocean stratification interannual variability on tropical cyclones
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Climate modes, such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), influence Tropical Cyclones ~ (TCs) interannual activity through their effect on large-scale atmospheric environment. These climate modes also induce interannual ...
About the role of westerly wind events in the possible development of an El Nino in 2014
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Similarities between early 1997 and 2014 has prompted climate scientists to wonder if an El Niño matching the 1997 “El Niño of the century” could develop in 2014. Until April 2014, the equatorial Pacific exhibited positive ...
