Impact of shamal winds and swells on the coastal currents along the west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Wind, wave and current data collected at/off Ratnagiri, west coast of India were analysed to study the wind-wave-current interaction along the west coast of India (WCI) during shamal events Shamal winds which originate in ...
Sea breeze-induced wind sea growth in the central west coast of India.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Fine resolution wind data is required in wave models to study the interaction between wind seas generated by coastal winds, and swells. In the present study, a mesoscale model, MM5, which is capable of reproducing fine ...
Wave transformation and attenuation along the west coast of India: Measurements and numerical simulations
(World Scientific Publishing, 2013)
Waves measured at a few locations along the west coast of India were analyzed to study modification and attenuation of wave energy in the nearshore regions. It has been found that the reduction in wave height is relatively ...
Role of shamal and easterly winds on the wave characteristics off Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(Elsevier, 2021)
Waves in the Arabian Gulf (Gulf) are dominated by shamal winds during winter and early summer. Although wave characteristics in the Gulf are broadly studied, features associated with various wind systems are not explicitly ...
Wave energy dissipation due to mudbanks formed off southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Mudbanks (MBs) are a unique natural phenomenon, and form along the southwest coast of India during the southwest monsoon. They are characterized by a calm-water region, bordered by a rough sea. In order to quantify the ...
Propagation of Atlantic Ocean swells in the north Indian Ocean: A case study
(European Geosciences Union, 2012)
An analysis of altimeter significant wave height data of May 2007 revealed the occurrence of an extreme weather event off southern tip of South Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, and generation of a series of very high swells ...
Recent studies on wind seas and swells in the Indian Ocean
(IIT Bombay, 2012)
Winds and waves measured at a few locations along the west coast of India were analysed to study the wave characteristics in the deep as well as near shore regions during different seasons. The potential generation of ...
Suspended matter and fluid mud off Alleppey, southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Time series measurements on suspended particulate matter (SPM) were made at one non-mud bank (M1) and two mud bank stations (M2 and M3) off Alleppey, south west coast of India. The mean SPM was low in surface (6.2 mg/l) ...
Modification of wind-wave model WAM and its verification against buoy data in the Indian Ocean
(IIT Bombay, 2012)
An attempt is made to improve the accuracy of wave prediction in the Indian Ocean. For this purpose, two versions of the wave model WAM have been used: WAM (Cycle 4) and the new version of WAM, called NewWAM. The three ...
Long-Term Variability of the Wind Field over the Indian Ocean Based on ERA-Interim Reanalysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
A detailed study of long-term variability of winds using 30 years of data from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts global reanalysis (ERA-Interim) over the Indian Ocean has been carried out by partitioning ...
