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 ...
Indian Ocean dipole modulated wave climate of eastern Arabian Sea
(European Geosciences Union, 2016)
Intrinsic modes of variability have a significant role in driving the climatic oscillations in the oceanic processes. In this paper, we investigate the influence of an inter-annual mode of variability, the Indian Ocean ...
Surface wave climatology and its variability in the North Indian Ocean based on ERA-Interim reanalysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)
The climate over the north Indian Ocean (NIO) is one of the most dynamic in the world because of seasonally reversing monsoon winds. In this study, the climate of the NIO and the variability of its surface waves using the ...
Directional characteristics of shallow water waves along southwestern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)
The aim of the present research is to investigate the directional characteristics of waves along the southwestern Bay of Bengal based on the measured data during 2010 at 14 m water depth. Diurnal, monthly and annual variation ...
Trends in surface wind speed and significant wave height as revealed by ERA-Interim wind wave hindcast in the Central Bay of Bengal
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2015)
The Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal (BoB) regions are special interested sea areas in the Northern Hemisphere with large seasonal variability. This study focused on the long-term wind and wave in the central BoB from 1979 ...
Sea state observation in island-sheltered nearshore zone based on in situ intermediate-water wave measurements and NCEP/CFSR wind data
(Springer, 2015)
In this study, wind-seas, swells, and the coastal wind pattern are examined to interpret the temporal diversity of the sea state in the island-sheltered nearshore zone off Karwar on the west coast of India. The sea state ...
Performance of ERA-Interim wave data in the nearshore waters around India
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)
Bulk wave parameters, such as wave height and wave period, are required for engineering and environmental applications. In this study, measured wave data from six shallow-water locations in the data-sparse north Indian ...
Spatial and temporal variations of wave height in shelf seas around India
(Springer, 2015)
The spatial and temporal variations of wave height in shelf seas around Indian mainland are examined based on the ERA-Interim dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The study shows that ...
Changes in nearshore waves during the active sea/land breeze period off Vengurla, central west coast of India
(Copernicus Publications, 2016)
A unique feature observed in the tropical and subtropical coastal area is the diurnal sea-breeze/land-breeze cycle. We examined the nearshore waves at 5 and 15 m water depth during the active sea/land breeze period ...
Short-term statistics of waves measured off Ratnagiri, eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2015)
The short-term wave characteristics are required for design and operation of industrial facilities within the coastal areas. Water surface displacement measured using waverider buoy moored at 13 m water depth in the eastern ...
