    • Absolute calibration of SARAL/AltiKa in Kavaratti during its initial calibration-validation phase 

      Babu, K.N.; Shukla, A.K.; Suchandra, A.B.; ArunKumar, S.V.V.; Bonnefond, P.; Testut, L.; Mehra, P.; Laurain, O. (Taylor and Francis, 2015)
      The Kavaratti calibration-validation site in India at Lakshadweep Sea has been improved to carry out absolute calibration of SARAL/AltiKa altimeter. This site is augmented with a down-looking radar gauge and a permanent ...
    • Improved Bathymetric Dataset and Tidal Model for the Northern Bay of Bengal 

      Krien, Y.; Mayet, C.; Testut, L.; Durand, F.; Tazkia, A.R.; Islam, A.K.M.S.; Gopalakrishna, V.V.; Becker, M.; Calmant, S.; Shum, C.K.; Khan, Z.H.; Papa, F.; Ballu, V. (Taylor & Francis, 2016)
      The Bengal Delta is a highly complex and vulnerable environment where key dynamical features such as tides, storm surges, salinity, and sediment transport strongly depend on the accurate bottom topography representation. ...
    • Improving modeling of tides on the continental shelf off the west coast of India 

      Testut, L.; Unnikrishnan, A.S. (Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2016)
      Global tidal solutions are sometimes inaccurate in coastal regions. This is particularly true in some regions of the northern Indian Ocean, which are characterized by wide continental shelves and large tidal ranges. We ...
    • Observing storm surges in the Bay of Bengal from satellite altimetry 

      Antony, C.; Testut, L.; Unnikrishnan, A.S. (Elsevier, 2014)
      In the present study, we examined 15 years (1993e2007) of satellite altimeter and coastal tide-gauge records in the Bay of Bengal and demonstrate that satellite altimetry can be a useful complementary dataset for the study ...
    • Tide Gauges 

      Unnikrishnan, A.S.; Mathews, A.; Gravelle, M.; Testut, L.; Thorkild, A.; Woodworth, P.L.; AjayKumar, B. (CLIVAR/IOC-GOOS Indian Ocean Region Panel (IORP), 2019)
      Tide gauge measurements provide data for routine tidal predictions in ports as well as for extreme events such as storm surges and tsunamis. Along with satellite altimeter measurements, tide gauges also provide measurements ...
