Observation on foreshore morphodynamics of microtidal sandy beaches
(Current Science Association, 2014)
Foreshore morphology and morphodynamics were examined to identify stability of two microtidal sandy beaches, Kundapura and Padukare, along the Karnataka shoreline on the west coast of India during three annual cycles from ...
Wave forecasting and monitoring during very severe cyclone Phailin in the Bay of Bengal.
(Current Science Association, 2014)
Wave fields, both measured and forecast during the very severe cyclone Phailin, are discussed in this communication. Waves having maximum height of 13.54 m were recorded at Gopalpur, the landfall point of the cyclone. The ...
Spatial and temporal variations of wave energy in the nearshore waters of the central west coast of India
(Copernicus Publications, 2016)
Assessment of wave power potential at different water depths and time is required for identifying a wave power plant location. This study examines the variation in wave power off the central west coast of India at water ...
Hourly maximum individual wave height in the Indian shelf seas-its spatial and temporal variations in the recent 40 years
(Springer, 2020)
The spatial and temporal variability of the high individual wave heights, which pose a hazard in India's shelf seas, has not been investigated. In this study, the spatial and temporal variation of hourly maximum individual ...
RIP current zones along beaches in Goa, west coast of India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)
Goa has a 125-km-long coastline of which two-thirds consists of beautiful sandy beaches. There are mainly 17 beaches having significant importance of tourism. Sporadically, surf drownings have been reported at a few stretches ...
Hindcast of breaking waves and its impact at an island sheltered coast, Karwar
(Springer, 2018)
Variability in the characteristics of depth-induced wave breakers along a non-uniform coastal topography and its impact on the morpho-sedimentary processes is examined at the island sheltered wave-dominated micro-tidal ...
Fine particle deposition at Vainguinim tourist beach, Goa, India
(Coastal Research Foundation, 1998)
Vainguinim Beach is a small and narrow pocket beach located on the rocky coast of Dona Paula Bay, at the estuarine front of the Zuari River in Goa, India. The beach has been widely used for recreation and swimming by a ...
Influence of winds on temporally varying short and long period gravity waves in the near shore regions of the eastern Arabian Sea
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
Wave data collected off Ratnagiri, west coast of India, during 1 May 2010 to 30 April 2012 are used in this study. Seasonal and annual variations in wave data controlled by the local wind system such as sea breeze and land ...
Influence of tropical cyclones on the 100-year return period wave height- A study based on 39-year long ERA5 reanalysis data
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)
Various engineering activities in a coastal and offshore environment require detailed assessment about the probable extreme wave characteristics in its lifetime to prevent human as well as property loss. The accurate ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
