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 ...
Wave energy resource assessment for the Indian shelf seas
(Elsevier, 2015)
As a renewable energy, the assessment of wave power potential around a country is crucial. Knowledge of the temporal and spatial variations of wave energy is required for locating a wave power plant. This study investigates ...
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) ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
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 ...
Short-term statistics of waves measured off Ratnagiri, eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
The short-term wave characteristics are required for design and operation of industrial facilities within the coastal areas. Water surface displacement measured using waverider buoy moored at 13 m water depth in the eastern ...
Inter-annual variations in wave characteristics off Ratnagiri, Northeast Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
The wave data measured using the Datawell directional wave rider buoy at 13 m water depth off Ratnagiri during 2010 to 2013 is used to study the inter-annual variations in the wave characteristics. The percentage occurrence ...
Nearshore waves and longshore sediment transport along Rameshwaram Island off the east coast of India
(SNAK, 2015)
Wave-induced Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) play an important role in the dynamics of the Dhanushkodi sandspit located southeast of Rameshwaram. The LST along the Dhanushkodi coast is studied based on data collected ...
Trends in surface wind speed and significant wave height as revealed by ERA-Interim wind wave hindcast in the Central Bay of Bengal
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2015)
The Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal (BoB) regions are special interested sea areas in the Northern Hemisphere with large seasonal variability. This study focused on the long-term wind and wave in the central BoB from 1979 ...
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 ...
