Tidal propagation in the Mandovi-Zuari Estuarine network, west coast of India: Impact of freshwater influx
(Academic Press, 1997)
The Mandovi-Zuari estuarine network on the west coast of India consists of shallow strongly converging channels, that receive large seasonal influx of fresh water due to the monsoons. The main channels, the Mandovi and ...
The movement and implications of the Ganges-Bramhaputra runoff on entering the Bay of Bengal
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1993)
The Ganges-Brahmaputra rivers discharge annually approximately 10 sup(2) m sup(3) of freshwater into the Bay of Bengal at its northern end. We propose that the spread of this water, accompaniEd. by mixing with the ambient ...
Propagation of tides in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1999)
The Mandovi and the Zuari are two shallow estuaries that are located in Goa and join the Arabian Sea. The main channel of each is about 50 km long, has its cross-sectional area decreasing rapidly in the upstream direction, ...
The warm pool in the Indian Ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 1991)
The structure of the warm pool (region with temperature greater than 28 degrees C) in the equatorial Indian Ocean is examined and compared with its counterpart in the Pacific Ocean using the climatology of Levitus. Though ...
Are interdecadal sea level changes along the Indian coast influenced by variability of monsoon rainfall?
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)
The Mumbai (Bombay) tide gauge data, the only century-long record in the Indian Ocean, show that interdecadal changes in sea level mimic those in rainfall over the Indian subcontinent. We propose that the link between ...
Coastal circulation in the North Indian Ocean: Coastal segment (14,S-W)
(John Wiley and Sons, New York, USA, 1998)
The article provides an overview of the circulation of the coastal regime of the North Indian Ocean stretching from southern coast of Indonesia to the coast of East Africa. A special feature of this regime is that it ...
Sea level during storm surges as seen in tide-gauge records along the east coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 1999)
Analysis of hourly sea level recorded by tide gauges of the Survey of India (SOI) at Paradip, Vishakhapatnam, and Chennai provides a record of non-tidal sea level during three periods, 6-10 August 1979, 6-10 August 1981, ...
The coastal current off western India during the northeast monsoon
(Pergamon, 1991)
Hydrographic data collected during December 1987 and January 1988 are used to describe the poleward coastal current along the west coast of India that flows against weak winds during the northeast monsoon. Near the southern ...
Forcing mechanisms of the Bay of Bengal circulation
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
A state-of-the-art ocean general circulation model, set up for the North Indian Ocean and driven by climatological wind stress simulates most of the observed features of the near-surface circulation of the Bay of Bengal. ...
Propagation of tides in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine network
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1995)
Located in Goa on the west coast of India and joining the Arabian Sea, the Mandovi and the Zuari are two estuaries, each about 50 km long, connected by a narrow canal. A number of small rivers join the two estuaries, forming ...
