Dynamics of circulation of the waters around India

Abstract

During the last decade the understanding of dynamics of the large-scale seasonal coastal currents around India has markedly improved. However, a number of major issues concerning circulation on the shelf and in the estuaries remain unresolved. An adequate infrastructure to study them is now available, and understanding gained by studying them offers the promise of capability to address environmental issues and to develop new services in the coastal regime. To avail of these opportunities an integrated approach to the generation of postgraduate manpower and its deployment is needed.
