On the spatial structure and time evolution of shamal winds over the Arabian Sea – a case study through numerical modelling.
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2014)
Shamal events are extra-tropical weather systems which occur in winter (cold and dry winds) as well as summer (hot and humid winds) with strong northwesterly or northerly winds blowing over the Arabian Peninsula. We have ...
Morpho-dynamic evolution of Ekakula spit of Odisha coast, India using satellite data
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Ekakula spit is t at the northern end of Gahirmatha coast in the state of Odisha, India This spit is located at the mouth of Maipura River which is falling in the Mahanadi delta region This spit is a prominent and important ...
Impact of shamal winds and swells on the coastal currents along the west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Wind, wave and current data collected at/off Ratnagiri, west coast of India were analysed to study the wind-wave-current interaction along the west coast of India (WCI) during shamal events Shamal winds which originate in ...
Estimating absolute sea level variations by combining GNSS and Tide gauge data
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Indian tide gauges can be used to estimate sea level rise. To separate relative sea level rise from vertical land motion at the tide gauges, various GNSS stations have been installed in the last years at, or nearby, tide ...
Waste assimilative capacity of coastal waters along Mumbai mega city, west coast of India using MIKE-21 and WASP simulation models.
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co, 2014)
Coastal waters are the ultimate receivers of the organic waste materials generated by upstream cities and towns. This waste can cause dissolved oxygen depletion due to increased oxygen demand, affecting the natural ability ...
Sea breeze-induced wind sea growth in the central west coast of India.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Fine resolution wind data is required in wave models to study the interaction between wind seas generated by coastal winds, and swells. In the present study, a mesoscale model, MM5, which is capable of reproducing fine ...
Bacterial bioluminescence response to long-term exposure to reverse osmosis treated effluents from dye industries
(NRC Research Press, 2014)
The bacterial bioluminescence assay is one of the novel means for toxicity detection. The bioluminescence response of 2 marine bioluminescent bacteria was tested upon their long-term exposure to 9 different reverse osmosis ...
Ocean-atmosphere interaction during Thane cyclone: A numerical study using WRF
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Cyclone `Thane` developed over the southeast Bay of Bengal (BoB) at 88.5° E, 8.5° N during 25-31 December 2011.Simulations have been carried out using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to generate fine resolution ...
What drives nearshore sediment transport controls on the depletion of beach placers at Manavalakurichi, Southwest Coast of India?.
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
An in-depth analysis has been made to simulate hydrodynamic scenarios for understanding the nearshore sediment transport controls of placer mineral depletion at Manavalakurichi, India. From the analyses of topographic ...
ENSO-induced inter-annual sea level variability in the Singapore strait
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Sea level data from four tide gauge stations in the SS (Tanjong Pagar, Sultan Shoal, Sembawang and Raffles Lighthouse) for the period 1970-2012 were extracted to study the ENSO-induced interannual sea level variability Sea ...
