Beach changes at Visakhapatnam due to the cyclone of May 1979
(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 ... -
Climate induced changes in beach morphology and sediment dynamics, Machilipatnam
(Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)The wave climate, littoral current patterns, monthly and seasonal longshore drift rates, beach profile changes, and sediment budget of the beach sediments were determined along Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh (India) for the ... -
Geomorphology and surficial geology of the western continental shelf and slope of India: A review
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, 1997)Coastal geology and geomorphology of the area and nearshore currents played a significant role in the distribution of placer minerals off Kerala and Maharashtra. Transport and sedeimentation of fine-grained materials at ... -
Nearshore currents along the Karnataka coast, west coast of India
(Multi-Science Publishing, 2012)Measured current data at 7 locations and tide data at 3 locations during the pre-summer monsoon period along the west coast of India is used in the study. The surface currents during March showed a predominant northward ... -
Variability in wave refraction and resultant nearshore current patterns: Exposed versus sheltered beaches along north Karnataka, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)For predominant waves approaching from directions varying between SW and WNW and periods varying from 6 to 11 sec, the refraction function (Kd) shows amplification of wave heights resulting in concentration of wave energy ... -
Wave Refraction and Littoral Currents off Colva Beach, Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Wave refraction studies have been carried out for waves of different periods approaching the coast at Colva, with directions of approach lying between180 degrees and 340 degrees, to obtain a qualitative picture of littoral ... -
Wave refraction and longshore current patterns along Calangute beach (Goa), west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)Wave refractions study for most predominant waves with 6,8,10 and 12 sec period and approaching from directions WNW, W and WSW has been carried out along the Calangute beach. The energy distribution and probable ... -
Wave refraction in relation to beach stability along the coast from Cape Ramas to Karwar
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1976)Results of wave refraction and beach profile studies are presented for a stretch of 35 km shore line comprising of Loliem Beach, Karwar, Karnataka, India which is separated by rock promontories from comparatively stable ... -
Wave-induced nearshore circulation along the Calangute-Candolim beach, Goa, West coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1989)The wave-induced nearshore circulation model suggested by Noda has been modified and applied for three small segments along the coast of Goa. The present model incorporates the prevailing bottom topography and considers ... -
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 - ...
