Waves in the nearshore waters of northern Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2011)Waves at 15 m water depth in the northern Arabian Sea are measured during the summer monsoon for a period of 45 days and the characteristics are described. The significant wave height varied from 1.1 to 4.5 m with an average ... -
Waves in the seas
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)Not all sea waves look alike in form. Scientists, in fact, classify all waves into definite groups, which can be simulated on a computer using specific models. Thus there are many types of wave forms on the sea surface ... -
Waves off Gopalpur, northern Bay of Bengal during cyclone Phailin.
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)The wave statistical parameters during Cyclone Phailin which crossed the northern Bay of Bengal are described based on the Directional Waverider buoy-measured wave data from 8 to 13 October 2013. On 12 October 2013, the ... -
Waves off Puducherry, Bay of Bengal, during cyclone THANE
(Springer, 2013)We studied the wave characteristics during the very severe cyclonic storm THANE which crossed the east coast of India between Puducherry and Cuddalore based on waves measured at a location in Bay of Bengal at 14 m water ... -
Weakening of the South Asian summer monsoon linked to interhemispheric ice-sheet growth since 12 Ma
(Nature Publishing Group, 2023)The evolution and driving mechanism of the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) are still poorly understood. We here present a 12-Myr long SASM record by analyzing the strontium and neodymium isotopic composition of detrital ... -
Wealth from the sea

Wealth of bioactive molecules from marine bacteria and their applications
(2012)By the term, "Bioactive molecules" we generally mean a range of compounds produced by living fauna and flora the effect of which tend to improve the status of man�s health, wealth and overall welfare These molecules could ... -
Weather station for scientific data collection
(Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)A state of are automatic weather station has been developed primarily to support, research programs on oceanographic and climatic studies. The basic system includes a suite of sensors for measurement of wind velocity, air ... -
Web-enabled and real-time reporting: Cellular based instrumentation for coastal sea level and surge monitoring
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)The 26 December 2004 monster tsunami that struck many South Asian countries, and the severe destruction and devastation wrought by that, have drawn attention to the urgent need for a versatile disaster warning system for ... -
Weekly observations on dispersal and sink pathways of the terrigenous flux of the Ganga-Brahmaputra in the Bay of Bengal during NE monsoon
(Elsevier, 2005)The analyses of 64 sequential satellite images (October 1999-March 2001) of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite IRS-P4 ocean color monitor (OCM) (bands around 490, 555, and 670 nm) for total suspended matter (TSM), synchronous ... -
Weight-length relationship and Fulton�s condition factor of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) from the Southeast coast of India
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)The present study provides information on weight- length relationship (WLR) and Fulton�s condition factor (K) of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) sampled from Palk Bay (PB) and Gulf of Mannar ... -
Weight-length relationship, morphometric and meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 (Syngnathiformes: Syngnathidae) from central west coast of India
(2019)Eighteen morphometric and five meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 inhabiting the coastal waters of Ratnagiri, central west coast of India, were studied. Morphometric/numerical analysis ... -
West India coastal current and Lakshadweep High/Low
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1998)The West India Coastal Current (WICC) flows northward during November-February and southward during April-September. At the time of formation of the northward (southward) phase of the current, a high (low) in sea level - ... -
Western Indian Ocean - A glimpse of the tectonic scenario
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The Western Indian Ocean is a veritable storehouse of diverse and complex tectonic features. Most of the knowledge about the major tectonic features of this area has emanated from the studies carried out with the geophysical ... -
Western Pacific Oceanic Heat Content: A Better Predictor of La Ni�a Than of El Ni�o
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)The western equatorial Pacific oceanic heat content (warm water volume in the west or WWVw) is the best El Ni�o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictor beyond 1-year lead. Using observations and selected Coupled Model ... -
Westward movement of eddies into the Gulf of Aden from the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)Sea level anomalies (SLA) from satellite altimetry (1993-2003) reveal the westward movement of mesoscale eddies in the Gulf of Aden. Inside the gulf the eddies move at a speed of approx. 6.0-8.5 cm s sup(-1), comparable ... -
Wet deposition of air pollution at southwest monsoon outbreak and its impact on groundwater resources of Greater Kochi region
