    • Beach changes at Visakhapatnam due to the cyclone of May 1979 

      Chandramohan, P.; Rao, B.P. (Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
      The impact of the May, 1979 cyclonic storm on Visakhapatnam beach, India and the observations made on beach profiles, waves and littoral currents prior to and during the storm are discussed. In general, at Visakhapatnam ...
    • Low-scale foreshore morphodynamic processes in the vicinity of a tropical estuary at Honnavar, central west coast of India 

      Hegde, V.S.; Shalini, G.; Nayak, S.R.; Rajawat, A.S.; Suryanarayana, A.; Jayakumar, S.; Koti, B.K.; Girish, G.K. (Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2009)
      Low-scale foreshore morphodynamic processes in the vicinity of the Sharavati estuary at Honnavar, central west coast of India, are discussed in this paper based on the wave refraction analyses, sediment characteristics, ...
    • Numerical modelling of nearshore wave transformation 

      Chandramohan, P.; Nayak, B.U.; SanilKumar, V. (Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
      A software has been developed for numerical refraction study based on finite amplitude wave theories. Wave attenuation due to shoaling, bottom friction, bottom percolation and viscous dissipation has also been incorporated. ...
    • Our changing coastlines 

      DineshKumar, P.K. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
      Our coastlines keep alive the sense of continuing creation and of the relentless drive of life In recent years, much has been done both to understand the processes that underlie their creation and to exploit their environment ...
    • Preliminary investigations on transient erosion at Kalpakkam Beach, east coast of India during June 1990 

      Krishnakumar, V.; Vethamony, P.; Swamy, G.N. (Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1994)
      Rapid erosion experienced at the southern end of Kalpakkam beach, east coast of India during June, 1990 with relatively calm sea conditions is found to be related to an imbalance caused by the unusual run-off through Palar ...
    • Response of Barrier beaches along the southwest coast of India to monsoonal forcing 

      PrasannaKumar, S.; Murty, C.S. (Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1987)
      The response of a small stretch of barrier beach along the southern part of the west coast of India to the southwest wind and wave climates showed wide variations when examined through empirical Eigen function analysis. ...
    • Shoreline dynamics of the Lakshadweep Islands 

      Chandramohan, P.; Anand, N.M.; Nayak, B.U. (NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
      Lakshadweep group of islands are mainly coral atolls. Fringing reefs protect these small islands from the attack of waves. This paper describes the waves and currents acting on Kalpeni, Kavaratti, Minicoy, Agatti, Kadamat ...
    • Some studies on wave refraction in relation to beach erosion along the Kerala coast 

      Das, P.K.; Hariharan, V.; Varadachari, V.V.R. (Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1966)
      Using the British admirality bathymetric charts off the west coast of India and employing the graphical method of constructing wave refraction diagrams, an attempt is made to study behaviour of the short-period waves (4, ...
