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 ...

Cross-shore beach profiles and textural characteristics of foreshore sediment were analyzed for understanding an annual cycle of intertidal beach dynamics at Devbag, an Island sheltered estuarine coast. Cross-shore transects ...

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 ...

Wind wave spectra were recorded simultaneously at three shallow (water depth 7–9 m) locations (Malpe, Honnavar and Karwar) along the 200 km stretch of the state of Karnataka in 2009 during 27 April–24 May (representing ...

Interannual and seasonal variations in nearshore surface wave parameters over a period of three years (March 2008 - March 2011) were examined based on the measured wave data at 9 m water depth off Honnavar, west coast of ...

In most design applications such as alignment of the berthing structure and breakwater alignment, it becomes necessary to determine the direction of design wave. There are two different approaches to determine wave direction. ...

The longshore current velocity varied between 0.1 and 0.33 m.sec/1. The longshore current direction was predominantly southward at Ratnagiri, Ambolgarh (Maharashtra, India), whereas it was variable at Vengurla during the ...
