Residual fluxes of water and nutrient transport through the main inlet of a tropical estuary, Cochin estuary, West Coast, India
(Springer, 2015)
25-hour time series measurements of vertical salinity profiles and currents in Zuari estuary were done during both spring and neap tidal cycles of pre-monsoon (April–May), south-west monsoon (June–September) and post-monsoon ...
Sea state observation in island-sheltered nearshore zone based on in situ intermediate-water wave measurements and NCEP/CFSR wind data
(Springer, 2015)
In this study, wind-seas, swells, and the coastal wind pattern are examined to interpret the temporal diversity of the sea state in the island-sheltered nearshore zone off Karwar on the west coast of India. The sea state ...
Residual estuarine circulation in the Mandovi, a monsoonal estuary: A three-dimensional model study
(Elsevier, 2016)
Observations in the Mandovi estuary, located on the central west coast of India, have shown that the salinity field in this estuary is remarkably time-dependent and passes through all possible states of stratification ...
Assessment of existing sediment transport models for sand barrier dynamics under wave and currents
(IAHR-AIRH, 2014)
The paper summarizes morphology changes over rippled sand barriers under wave and wave combined current of 27 laboratorial experiments. Data of 4 wave conditions (H=10cm, T=1s; H=12cm, T=1s; H=12cm, T=1.5s; H=14cm, T=1.5s) ...
Environmental isotopes to test hypotheses for fluid mud (mud bank) generation mechanisms along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Occurrence of fluid mud (mud banks) in the southwest coast of India is an enigma for the scientific community. Over the years, several multi-disciplinary studies were conducted and various hypotheses were postulated on the ...
Sources, vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in sediments from the Mandovi Estuary, west coast of India
(University of Tehran, 2015)
The Mandovi estuary is highly influenced by mining and tourism related activities in the central west coast of India. Vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) in three sediment cores (D1, C1 and ...
Performance of ERA-Interim wave data in the nearshore waters around India
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)
Bulk wave parameters, such as wave height and wave period, are required for engineering and environmental applications. In this study, measured wave data from six shallow-water locations in the data-sparse north Indian ...
Spatial and temporal variations of wave height in shelf seas around India
(Springer, 2015)
The spatial and temporal variations of wave height in shelf seas around Indian mainland are examined based on the ERA-Interim dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The study shows that ...
Changes in nearshore waves during the active sea/land breeze period off Vengurla, central west coast of India
(Copernicus Publications, 2016)
A unique feature observed in the tropical and subtropical coastal area is the diurnal sea-breeze/land-breeze cycle. We examined the nearshore waves at 5 and 15 m water depth during the active sea/land breeze period ...
Reevaluation of design waves off the western Indian coast considering climate change
(Marine Technology Society, 2016)
Knowledge of design waves with long return periods forms an essential input to many engineering applications, including structural design and analysis. Such extreme or long-term waves are conventionally evaluated using ...
