Acoustic characteristics of the water of the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Acoustic eigen rays (rays connecting the source and receiver) have been indentified and their turning depth, path length, travel time etc. evaluated. Acoustic intensity loss due to mean environmental conditions, vergence ... -
Current structure and volume transport across 12 degrees N in the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Geostrophic currents and the associated volume transport across 12 degrees N in the Bay of Bengal during early southwest monsoon (April), southwest monsoon (September) and early northeast monsoon (November) show flow ... -
Current and temperature structure of Rihand Lake
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, India, 1993)The environmental parameters such as wind, water and air temperatures, and currents were measured in Rihand Lake, Madhya Pradesh, India during the hotest months, May-June of 1983. Rihand is an artificial lake having an ... -
The movement and implications of the Ganges-Bramhaputra runoff on entering the Bay of Bengal
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1993)The Ganges-Brahmaputra rivers discharge annually approximately 10 sup(2) m sup(3) of freshwater into the Bay of Bengal at its northern end. We propose that the spread of this water, accompaniEd. by mixing with the ambient ... -
Interpretation of nonlinearity in wind generated ocean surface waves
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)This study attempts to resolve a mix-up between a physical process and its mathematical interpretation in the context of wind waves on ocean surface. Wind generated wave systems, are conventionally interpreted as a result ... -
Shoreline dynamics of the Lakshadweep Islands
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Lakshadweep group of islands are mainly coral atolls. Fringing reefs protect these small islands from the attack of waves. This paper describes the waves and currents acting on Kalpeni, Kavaratti, Minicoy, Agatti, Kadamat ... -
Deep water wave characteristics off Karwar, west coast of India

A comparison of synthetic aperture radars applied for satellite remote sensing of the ocean surface
(1993)Doppler imaging radars have orbited the earth aboard several spacecraft for the purpose of monitoring the ocean. Oceanographic applications of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) include measuring ocean wave fields, monitoring ... -
The western boundary current of the seasonal subtropical gyre in the Bay of Bengal
(American Geophysical Union, 1993)Hydrographic data collected during March-April 1991 show the presence of a poleward current along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal of about 10 degrees N carrying warmer waters of southern origin. The inshore side ... -
Thermal structure of the Western Indian Ocean during the southwest monsoon, 1983
(Ifremer/ CNRS/ IRD/ Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves, 1993)The thermal structure and the variability of heat content of the upper 400 m of the Western Indian Ocean were examined using the expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data collected onboard RV Sagar Kanya during July-August, ... -
Salinity extrema in the Arabian Sea
(University of Hamburg, Germany, 1993)Levitus (1982) climatology has been used to identify four extrema, three maxima and one minimum, in the vertical salinity profiles in the Arabian Sea. Their geographical distribution, depths, theta-S characteristics, and ... -
An algorithm for determination of geodetic path for application in long-range acoustic propagation
(NIO, Goa, 1993)A computer program has been developed for the construction of geodetic path between two points on the spheroidal surface for application in long range acoustic propagation in the ocean. Geodetic equations have integrated ... -

Thermal response of upper layers of Bay of Bengal to forcing of a severe cyclonic storm: A case study
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Upper ocean response to forcing of a severe cyclonic storm during May 1990 in the western Bay of Bengal was studied using the XBT data sets collected (4 d after passage of storm) under Indian TOGA programme. A maximum ... -
Real time Aanderaa current meter data collection system
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Aanderaa current meters are widely used for recording the current speed and such other 4 parameters by deploying them over extended period of time. Normally data are recorded on magnetic tape and after recovery of current ... -
Intermonsoonal equatorial jets
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Three transects each from the cruises of R V Pioneer (84 , 88 degrees and 92 degrees E) during May-June 1964 and R V Vityaz (77 , 84 degrees and 94 degrees E) during October-November 1962 were used to compare pre and ... -
