Wind-wave measurements and modelling in the shallow semi-enclosed Palk Bay
(2019)
Wind-wave characteristics of the Palk Bay, a semi-enclosed water body, are studied by the wave measurements carried out at 2 locations during a one-year period. The analysis of wave data sets shows that wind-sea dominates ...
Observational Evidence of Summer Shamal Swells along the West Coast of India
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)
Wave data collected off Ratnagiri, West coast of India, in 2010 and 2011 are used to examine the presence of the summer shamal swells. This study also aims to understand variations in wave characteristics and associated ...
Characteristics of shallow water waves off the central west coast of India before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)
We studied the wave characteristics before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon based on data measured using the buoy moored at 3 locations off the central west coast of India. The study reveals the ...
Statistical analysis on extreme wave height
(Springer, 2012)
The classical extreme value theory based on generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is applied to the wave height estimate based on wave hindcast data covering a period of 31 ...
Directionality and spread of shallow water waves along the eastern Arabian Sea
(Copernicus Publications, 2013)
The directional characteristics of shallow water waves are described based on measured data during 2011 at two locations spaced at 350 km along the eastern Arabian Sea. Study shows that, for high swells (significant wave ...
Wave energy resource assessment for the Indian shelf seas
(Elsevier, 2015)
As a renewable energy, the assessment of wave power potential around a country is crucial. Knowledge of the temporal and spatial variations of wave energy is required for locating a wave power plant. This study investigates ...
Trends of wave height and period in the Central Arabian Sea from 1996 to 2012: A study based on satellite altimeter data
(Elsevier, 2015)
The variability of annual maximum and annual mean significant wave height (SWH) and wave period in the Central Arabian Sea is studied using satellite altimeter data from 1996 to 2012 at a deep water (water depth~3500 m) ...
Performance of the ocean state forecast system at Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services
(Current Science Association, 2013)
The reliability of the operational Ocean State Forecast system at the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) during tropical cyclones that affect the coastline of India is described in this article. ...
Influence of Indian summer monsoon variability on the surface waves in the coastal regions of eastern Arabian Sea
(Copernicus, 2016)
We assess the influence of monsoon variability on the surface waves using measured wave data covering 7 years and reanalysis data from 1979 to 2015 during the Indian summer monsoon (JJAS) in the eastern Arabian Sea. The ...
Wave hindcast studies using SWAN nested in WAVEWATCH III - comparison with measured nearshore buoy data off Karwar, eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Waves in the nearshore waters (~15 m water-depth) of eastern Arabian Sea were simulated using SWAN nested in WAVEWATCH III (WW3) for the year 2014. The sensitivity of the numerical wave model WW3 towards different source ...
