An atlas of mean distribution of precipitable water vapour over the tropical Indian Ocean for the year 1979
(1993)
The monthly mean maps of the precipitable water (PW) over the tropical Indian Ocean are prepared using the data derived from the Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) sensor for the period January to ...
Holocene submarine terraces on the western continental shelf of India; implications for sea-level changes
(Elsevier, 1994)
Detailed echosounding, side-scan sonar and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiling on the western continental shelf of India have revealed a series of submarine terraces at different depths between the outer fringe ...
Alongshore wind stress and heat flux divergence off Visakhapatnam, east coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1994)
Annual variation of heat flux divergence (Qv) was computed for the coastal waters of Visakhapatnam. The mean values of net heat exchange (Qn) and heat flux divergence (Qv) were found to be 114 and 115 W.m/2 respectively ...
Physical processes in the Indian seas
(Dona Paula: Indian Society for Phys. Science Ocean, 1992)
The proceedings volume comprise 38 papers covering air-sea boundary problems, open-ocean dynamics, nearshore processes, observational and analysis techniques, etc. This volume helps in taking stock of physical oceanographic ...
Waiting for the deluge
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1991)
Evidences show that levels of the world's seas are gradually rising The article discusses the causes and effects of such a rise in the sea level on the earth The relation between increase in greenhouse gases and sea level ...
Signals of the change in monsoonal precipitation at around 2,000 years BP in a sediment core off central west coast of India
(Current Science Association, 1994)
A 4.80 m long shallow water sediment core, collected from the inner shelf (at 22 m water depth) off Karwar near Kali River mouth is studied for foraminiferal tracers of palaeomonsoons. The climatic history of this core ...
Circulation and water masses of the Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1994)
The circulation in the coastal region off Oman is driven mainly by local winds and there is no remotely driven western boundary current. Local wind-driving is also important to the coastal circulation off western India ...
Residual fluxes of salt and water in the Azhikode estuary, west coast of India
(1992)
Monthly synoptic measurements of current speed, direction, salinity and temperature were made at three sections in the Azhikode Estuary, Kerala, India, for a period of one year. The observations were extended over a complete ...
