An atlas of mean distribution of precipitable water vapour over the tropical Indian Ocean for the year 1979
(1993)
The monthly mean maps of the precipitable water (PW) over the tropical Indian Ocean are prepared using the data derived from the Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) sensor for the period January to ...
Salt balance and mixing in the Bay of Bengal
(1986)
Basic fields of temperature salinity, density and currents in the Bay of Bengal are investigated using data archieved at the National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) Washington, D.C. and the Indian National Oceanographic ...
Study of longshore current equations for currents in Visakhapatnam beach
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Longshore currents were measured along the Visakhapatnam Beach, Andhra Pradesh, India at weekly intervals from March 1978 to March 1979. Visual observations on breaker characteristics were also made during this period. ...
Evidence for the existence of Persian Gulf water and Red Sea water in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2017)
The high-salinity water masses that originate in the North Indian Ocean are Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW), Persian Gulf Water (PGW), and Red Sea Water (RSW). Among them, only ASHSW has been shown to exist in the ...
Longshore currents and associated sediment transport in the nearshore areas of Kerala and Goa, west coast of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)
The field observations on the longshore currents at selected locations along the coasts of Goa and Kerala on the western seaboard spanning over a period of five years revealed high variability in their direction and speed. ...
Holocene submarine terraces on the western continental shelf of India; implications for sea-level changes
(Elsevier, 1994)
Detailed echosounding, side-scan sonar and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiling on the western continental shelf of India have revealed a series of submarine terraces at different depths between the outer fringe ...
Wave refraction and longshore current patterns along Calangute beach (Goa), west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Wave refractions study for most predominant waves with 6,8,10 and 12 sec period and approaching from directions WNW, W and WSW has been carried out along the Calangute beach. The energy distribution and probable ...
Circulation of the surface waters in the north Indian Ocean
(Indian Geophysical Union, 1967)
The circulation pattern of the surface waters in the North Indian Ocean for different months of the year is discussed. In order to arrive at a reliable and detailed picture of the circulation pattern, streamlines are drawn ...
