Influence of Indian summer monsoon variability on the surface waves in the coastal regions of eastern Arabian Sea
(Copernicus, 2016)
We assess the influence of monsoon variability on the surface waves using measured wave data covering 7 years and reanalysis data from 1979 to 2015 during the Indian summer monsoon (JJAS) in the eastern Arabian Sea. The ...
Wave hindcast studies using SWAN nested in WAVEWATCH III - comparison with measured nearshore buoy data off Karwar, eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Waves in the nearshore waters (~15 m water-depth) of eastern Arabian Sea were simulated using SWAN nested in WAVEWATCH III (WW3) for the year 2014. The sensitivity of the numerical wave model WW3 towards different source ...
Cyclone and monsoonal wave characteristics of northwestern Bay of Bengal: long-term observations and modeling
(Springer, 2016)
Long-term wave data play a crucial role in arriving the wave criteria for ports and harbors and shore protection structures. Seasonal and annual wave characteristics are studied based on wave data collected for the year ...
Deformation of textural characteristics and sedimentology along micro-tidal estuarine beaches
(NISCAIR, 2016)
Deformation in the textural characteristics of three selected beaches (Pavinkurve, Kundapura and Padukare) along Karnataka shoreline, west coast of India was examined. Study showed the beaches are significantly composed ...
Spatial and temporal variations of wave energy in the nearshore waters of the central west coast of India
(Copernicus Publications, 2016)
Assessment of wave power potential at different water depths and time is required for identifying a wave power plant location. This study examines the variation in wave power off the central west coast of India at water ...
Indian Ocean dipole modulated wave climate of eastern Arabian Sea
(European Geosciences Union, 2016)
Intrinsic modes of variability have a significant role in driving the climatic oscillations in the oceanic processes. In this paper, we investigate the influence of an inter-annual mode of variability, the Indian Ocean ...
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 ...
Directional characteristics of shallow water waves along southwestern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)
The aim of the present research is to investigate the directional characteristics of waves along the southwestern Bay of Bengal based on the measured data during 2010 at 14 m water depth. Diurnal, monthly and annual variation ...
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 ...
