Physical oceanography of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
Varkey, M.J.; Murty, V.S.N.; Suryanarayana, A. (George Allen and Unwin. London, UK, 1996)Physical oceanography of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea is reviewed for the first time. All available information for over 50 years is consolidated in this review. To begin with, information on peripheral or related ... -
Pollution of coastal seas
Varkey, M.J. (Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1999)Pollution of various environments is a consequence of population growth and industrialisation. Coastal seas form part of marine environment and are very rich in minerals, crude oil fishes etc. They are also being used for ... -
Power Spectra of Currents off Bombay
Varkey, M.J. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)Current measurements were carried out using a recording current meter across the continental shelf off Bombay, Maharashtra, India at 4 stations from an anchored ship. Power spectra were computed for selected lengths of ... -
Reference depth for geostrophic computation - A new method
Varkey, M.J.; Sastry, J.S. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)Various methods are available for the determination of reference depth for geostrophic computation. A new method based on the vertical profiles of mean and variance of the differences of mean specific volume anomaly (delta ... -
Reference problems
Varkey, M.J. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001) -
Richardson Number, stability and turbulence- A coherent view
Varkey, M.J. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)As turbulence in water is governed by vertical mobility controlled by static stability and horizontal mobility controlled by currents, the Richardson Number should give a measure of turbulence also. It is argued in this ... -
Science popularization and the Indian constitution - Correspondence
Varkey, M.J. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)Article 51A (h) of the Indian Constitution reads as follows, (citizens have a duty) to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform. This item under basic duties is of great importance to ... -
Seasonal wave characteristics of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal
Vijayarajan, P.K.; Varkey, M.J.; Joseph, M.X. (Marine Biological Association of India, 1976)Wave data reported in the Indian Daily Weather Reports for the period 1960-64 have been used to evaluate seasonal wave characteristics for each 2-degree square areas of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. These results ... -
Spectra and gross features of vertical temperature and salinity profiles off the central west coast of India
Varkey, M.J.; Nagarajan, R. (India Meteorological Department, 1985)Continuous vertical profiles of temperature and salinity recorded by a CTD-system from the continental slope and the continental rise off Goa, west coast of India, were used for delineating the gross statistical features ... -
Summer monsoon rainfall prediction for India - Some new ideas
Varkey, M.J. (Narosa Publishing, 2005)Present methods of forecasting of mean Indian rainfall for summer monsoon season are critically examined. Considering the wide variations in mean seasonal rainfalls (more than 5 to less than 400 cm) and crops in various ... -
Temperature distribution in the upper layers of the northern and eastern Arabian Sea during Indo-Soviet monsoon experiment
RameshBabu, V.; Rao, L.V.G.; Varkey, M.J.; Udayavarma, P. (India Meteorological Dept, 1976)Scientific cruises were Carried out by the ships of the Indian Navy along one zonal section (along 20 degrees N Lat.) and one meridional section, (along 71 degrees-30 degrees E Long.) in the Arabian Sea during May, June ... -
Water Masses and General Hydrography along the West Coast of India during early March
RameshBabu, V.; Varkey, M.J.; Das, V.K.; Gouveia, A.D. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)Structure of water masses along the west coast of India from Bombay to Trivandrum has been studied through vertical sections of temperature, salinity and density during 3-17 March 1977. The Arabian Sea high salinity water ... -
Water transports across 6 degrees N in Bay of Bengal on mean yearly and seasonal bases
Varkey, M.J.; Sastry, J.S. (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 ... -

Waves in the seas
Varkey, M.J. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)Not all sea waves look alike in form. Scientists, in fact, classify all waves into definite groups, which can be simulated on a computer using specific models. Thus there are many types of wave forms on the sea surface ... -
Wind fields of storms from surface isobars for wave hindcasting
Varkey, M.J.; Vaithiyanathan, R.; Santanam, K. (Allied, Chennai (India), 1996)Marine operations of various types are critically linked to mean and extreme wave statistics. In the Indian seas extreme wave conditions are caused by cyclones and steady strong monsoon winds. Wave data from cyclone areas ...
