Comparative study on spreading function for directional wave spectra
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)The planning and design of all coastal and offshore installations call for an information on wave directionality. This can be accurately obtained through the knowledge of the directional wave spectrum which is commonly ... -
Response of surface buoy moorings in steady and wave flows
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)A numerical model has been developed to evaluate the dynamics of surface buoy mooring systems under wave and current loading. System tension response and variation of tension in the mooring line at various depths have been ... -
Equatorward western boundary current in the Bay of Bengal during November - December 1983
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)Geostrophic circulation derived from the observed hydrographic data for the period November-December (1983) indicates the presence of a strong equatorward western boundary current (WBC) in the Bay of Bengal. The curl sub(z) ... -
Sea surface temperature anomalies in the Arabian Sea
(PORSEC Secretariat, Shimizu, Japan, 1992)The sea surface temperature anomalies over the various study areas, namely, the northern, western, central, eastern and southern Arabian Sea areas have been studied for the period 1948-1972. There were about 105, 87, 92, ... -
Characteristics of coastal waters of the western Bay of Bengal during different monsoon seasons
(CSIRO, Australia, 1992)Physical characteristics of waters along the eastern coast of India up to offshore distances of 400 km have been investigated during the seasons of the north-easterly and south-westerly monsoons in light of relevant observed ... -
Estimates of run off, evaporation and precipitation for the Bay of Bengal on seasonal basis
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)Mean seasonal river discharge rates (R) of the major rivers along the east coast of India, Bangla Desh and Burma; evaporation rates (E) computed for 5 degrees lat-long. Squares from data on heat loss and mean yearly ... -
Heat budget parameters for the southwestern Arabian Sea during monsoon - 88 experiment
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)The temporal evolution of heat budget parameters for the southwestern Arabian Sea shows that the net surface heat balance is negative (approx 70 Wm sup(-2)) in May 1988 (phase 1) mainly due to excessive latent heat loss ... -
A quality control procedure for seawater temperature data
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)A three level quality check has been developed for seawater temperature data. The standards used in the procedure for the quality check are the characteristic property of vertical temperature distribution, watermass property ... -
Nearshore circulation in relation to effluent disposal off Thal, Maharashtra, west coast of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1992)Tides, currents and related field parameters at Thal, Maharashtra Coast, India, were studied to assess the environmental conditions for proper disposal of effluents from a large fertilizer factory. The tidal ranges being ... -
Longshore sediment transport model for the Indian west coast
(Coastal Research Foundation, 1992)Longshore sediment transport rates for the Indian west coast from Cochin to Porbandar are estimated from ship observed wave data (1968 to 1986). The sediment transport rate is relatively high during the southwest monsoon ... -
On the spectra and coherence of some surface meteorological parameters in the Arabian Sea
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)Spectra and cross-spectra of monthly time series of the surface meteorological parameters, sea surface temperature, air temperature, cloudiness, wind speed and sea level pressure were computed for the period 1948-1972 over ... -
Hydrographic features of the western Bay of Bengal in the upper 500 m under the influence of NE and SW monsoon
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)The distribution of temperature, salinity, density and geostrophic currents in the upper 500 m of the western Bay of Bengal within 500 km adjoining the East Coast of India for NE and SW monsoons have been studied. These ... -
Simulation of barotropic wind-driven circulation in the upper layers of Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea during the southwest and northeast monsoon seasons using observed winds
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 1992)A two-dimensional, nonlinear, vertically integrated model was used to simulate depth-mean wind-driven circulation in the upper Ekman layers of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. The model resolution was one third of a ... -
Field measurement on longshore current variation between Ratnagiri and Mangalore, west coast of India
(CWPRS, Pune, 1992)The daily measurements on longshore current velocity and direction were carried out at selected 12 stations along the coast between Ratnagiri and Mangalore, India. The directional wave data measured at Karwar were used to ... -
On an upwelling front along the west coast of India during later part of southwest monsoon
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)A coastal front, associated with upwelling, is identified from the observed thermal field along the west coast of India during September, 1987. The front, which is seen very clearly upto a depth of about 75 m, has a ... -
Diurnal variability of surface fluxes at an oceanic station in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)Diurnal variability of the surface fluxes and ocean heat content was studied using the time-series data on marine surface meteorological parameters and upper ocean temperature collected at an oceanic station in the Bay of ... -
Seasonal variability of heat flux divergence in the coastal waters of Visakhapatnam
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)Heat flux divergence (Qv) in the coastal waters of Visakhapatnam, Andhra, Pradesh, India during different seasons, was estimated for the period February 1980-January 1981. It is found that the water column (0-60 m) gains ... -
Water transports across 6 degrees N in Bay of Bengal on mean yearly and seasonal bases
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)Mean vertical profiles of temperature and salinity are computed for each cell for North East Monsoon, South West Monsoon and full year. These mean profile for seven zones are used to compute mean geostrophic currents across ... -
