Characteristics of shallow water waves off the central west coast of India before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)
We studied the wave characteristics before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon based on data measured using the buoy moored at 3 locations off the central west coast of India. The study reveals the ...
Trends of wave height and period in the Central Arabian Sea from 1996 to 2012: A study based on satellite altimeter data
(Elsevier, 2015)
The variability of annual maximum and annual mean significant wave height (SWH) and wave period in the Central Arabian Sea is studied using satellite altimeter data from 1996 to 2012 at a deep water (water depth~3500 m) ...
Climate Induced Vegetational Evolution: Palynological and Thecamoebian Study from Coastal Archaeological Sites, Saurashtra
(Agam Kala Prakashan, New Delhi, 2015)
Coastal archaeological sites serve as potential archive of past climate-culture and vegetation relationship responding to relative sea level changes. Most of the Harappan dwellers along the coastal region largely depended ...
Effect of monsoonal perturbations on the occurrence of phytoplankton blooms in a tropical bay
(Inter-Research, 2015)
In this study, the influence of intraseasonal variations in rainfall and the resultant freshwater flux (monsoon perturbations) on phytoplankton bloom dynamics were evaluated by quantifying live phytoplankton at a fixed ...
Sea-level-rise trends off the Indian coasts during the last two decades
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present communication discusses sea-level-rise trends in the north Indian Ocean, particularly off the Indian coasts, based on estimates derived from satellite altimeter and tide-gauge data. Altimeter data analysis over ...
Absolute calibration of SARAL/AltiKa in Kavaratti during its initial calibration-validation phase
(Taylor and Francis, 2015)
The Kavaratti calibration-validation site in India at Lakshadweep Sea has been improved to carry out absolute calibration of SARAL/AltiKa altimeter. This site is augmented with a down-looking radar gauge and a permanent ...
Detection and monitoring of super sandstorm and its impacts on Arabian Sea-Remote sensing approach
(Elsevier, 2015)
The present study addresses an intense sandstorm event over the Persian Gulf and its transport over the Arabian Sea region and the Indian sub-continent using satellite observations and measurements. MODIS data are used to ...
Surface wave climatology and its variability in the North Indian Ocean based on ERA-Interim reanalysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)
The climate over the north Indian Ocean (NIO) is one of the most dynamic in the world because of seasonally reversing monsoon winds. In this study, the climate of the NIO and the variability of its surface waves using the ...
Role of upper ocean parameters in the genesis, intensification and tracks of cyclones over the Bay of Bengal
(Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology, 2015)
It is well known that the frequency of cyclones is about four times higher over the Bay of Bengal when compared with the Arabian Sea. Most of the severe cyclones during pre-monsoon (April and May) and post-monsoon (October ...
Seasonal variability of salinity and salt transport in the northern Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)
Analyses using a suite of observational datasets (Aquarius and Argo) and model simulations are carried out to examine the seasonal variability of salinity in the northern Indian Ocean (NIO). The model simulations include ...
