      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) ...
    • Thermohaline structure of an inverse estuary - The Gulf of Kachchh: Measurements and model simulations 

      Vethamony, P.; Babu, M.T.; Ramanamurty, M.V.; Saran, A.K.; Joseph, A.; Sudheesh, K.; Patgaonkar, R.S.; Jayakumar, S. (Elsevier, 2007)
      The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) is situated in the northeastern Arabian Sea. The presence of several industries along its coastal belt makes GoK a highly sensitive coastal ecosystem. In the present study, an attempt is made for ...
    • Tidal eddies in a semi-enclosed basin: A model study 

      Vethamony, P.; Reddy, G.S.; Babu, M.T.; Desa, E.; Sudheesh, K. (Elsevier, 2005)
      A modeling study has been carried out to support a Marine Management Plan for the Gulf of Kachchh, India and here the hydrodynamic part of the programme is described. The hydrodynamic model accurately predicts the tides ...
    • Tide dependent seasonal changes in water quality and assimilative capacity of anthropogenically influenced Mormugao harbour water
