Evaluation of the influence of monsoon climatology on dispersal and sequestration of continental flux over the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Associated with the coupled land–ocean heating–cooling, seasonal reversal of monsoon winds regulates hydrography, precipitation, upwelling, fluvial influx and a host of biogeochemical processes. We evaluate the role of the ...
δ<sup>18</sup>O and salinity variability from the last glacial maximum to recent in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Oxygen isotopes of surface, thermocline and bottom dwelling foraminifera were analysed from two well-dated Andaman Sea cores and combined with nine previously published records from the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Andaman Sea ...
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 ...
Preliminary results of an algorithm to determine the total absorption coefficient of water
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2016)
An algorithm to determine the spectral total absorption coefficient of water is presented. The algorithm is based on the Gershun’s equation of alfa = micro K<sub>E</sub>. The spectral underwater average cosine, micro and ...
Variations in concentrations and fluxes of dimethylsulfide (DMS) from the Indian estuaries
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2016)
In order to examine the variations in concentrations of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and its fluxes to the atmosphere, 25 major and medium estuaries from Indian subcontinent were sampled during wet and dry periods. River discharge ...
The impact of dredging on residence time in the Amba estuary, west coast of India
(Springer, 2016)
In this study, residence time (RT) and flushing characteristics of the Amba estuary were estimated using a 2D depth-averaged model driven by hydrodynamics resulting from the bathymetry changes due to dredging carried out ...
Acoustic reflections in the water column of Krishna-Godavari offshore basin, Bay of Bengal
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016)
Seismic oceanographic studies from various oceans worldwide have indicated that the acoustic reflections are mostly observed along thermal boundaries within the water column. However, the authors present a case study of ...
Impact of port structures on the shoreline of Karnataka, west coast, India
(Cloud Publications, 2016)
The changes in shoreline positions and geomorphic features along the Karnataka, West coast of India, were studied for the period from 1973 to 2014, using multi-dated satellite images and topographic maps. The ten hotspots ...
South Asian summer monsoon variability during the last ~54 kyrs inferred from surface water salinity and river run off proxies
(Elsevier, 2016)
The past variability of the South Asian Monsoon is mostly known from records of wind strength over the Arabian Sea while high-resolution paleorecords from regions of strong monsoon precipitation are still lacking. Here, ...
