Studies on waste field dilution in the vicinity of a marine outfall off Bombay
(Kalpana Corporation, 1996)Results are obtained using dimensional analysis to describe the characteristics of waste field at the marine outfall site off Bombay with a thrust on intermediate scale dispersion processes, which are of relevance to the ... -
Physical aspects of estuarine pollution - A case study in Amba river estuary
(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, Delhi, India, 1996)Tide dominated Amba river estuary was studied to evaluate it's physical characteristics with a point on application to locate a suitable release point of industrial effluents. It is important to site the outfall in a manner ... -
T-S variability and volume transport in the central Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)The variability of temperature and salinity along 11 degrees N and 12 degrees N sections in the Bay of Bengal during southwest monsoon months (July-September) was found to be large in the upper 200 m west of 83 degrees E ... -
Tropical sea surface temperatures and the earth's orbital eccentricity cycles
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)The tropical oceanic warm pools are climatologically important regions because their sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are positively related to atmospheric greenhouse effect and the cumulonimbus-cirrus cloud anvil. Such a ... -
On the role of surface heat budget parameters over the tropical Indian Ocean in relation to the summer monsoon
(IAPSO Commission for Vickbura Oceanogr. Co-Operation in Dev. Countries, 1996)This study presents the role of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, cloud motion vector winds in the Equatorial Indian Ocean, and the cold fronts in the South Africa-Malagassy region on the ... -
Reconstruction of sound speed profile through natural generalized inverse technique
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)An acoustic model has been developed for reconstruction of vertical sound speed in a near stable or stratified ocean. Generalized inverse method is utilised in the model development. Numerical experiments have been carried ... -
Hydrography and circulation in the western Bay of Bengal during the northeast monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 1996)The Bay of Bengal, a semienclosed tropical basin that comes under the influence of monsoonal wind and freshwater influx, is distinguished by a strongly stratified surface layer and a seasonally reversing circulation. We ... -
Variability of the oceanic boundary layer characteristics in the Northern Bay of Bengal during MONTBLEX-90
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1996)Variability of the ocean surface boundary layer characteristics on daily time-scale is studied utilizing the 3-hourly hydrographic data collected at a stationary location (20 degrees N, 89 degrees E) in the Bay of Bengal ... -
Winter cooling in the northern Arabian Sea
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)The upper thermo-haline structure and the surface meteorological parameters of the central and eastern Arabian Sea during the inter-monsoon (April-May, 1994) and winter monsoon (February-March, 1995) periods, were analysed ... -
Numerical simulation and measurements of acoustic transmissions from Heard Island to the equatorial Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)Simulated acoustic propagation showed a gradual deepening of the ray paths from the southern ocean towards tropics. Also the axis of the sound channel deepens from 150 m to 1600 m. Sudden jumps were noticed in the acoustic ... -
Portable floating breakwater for controlling bar formation and sediment transport near tidal inlets
(Institute of Engineers (India), 1996) -
Optimal parametric modelling of measured short waves
(Allied, Chennai (India), 1996)The spectral analysis of measured short waves can efficiently be carried out by the fast Fourier transform technique. Even though many present techniques can be used for the simulation of time series waves, these may not ... -
Sound field computations in the Bay of Bengal using parabolic equation method
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)Effect of the cold core eddy in the Bay of Bengal on acoustic propagation was analysed by parabolic equation (PE) method. Source depth, frequency and propagation range considered respectively for the two numerical experiments ... -

Impact of globalisation on coastal zone
(International Ocean Institute, Madras, India, 1996) -
A new international order on oceans- Indian perspective
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)The arduous work of the League of Nations for a decade (1973 to 1982) to finalize the text that contained provisions to protect the larger interests of the developing nations has been realized with the coming into force ... -

The Twelfth Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica: Events and achievements
(Department of Ocean Development, India, 1996)The twelfth Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica comprising 56 members coming from different scientific organisations/institutions and the logistic contingent from three wings of defense services was flagged off by ... -
The salty seas
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)This article highlights on the reasons for being seawater salty and provides answers to these. -
Some observations on use of siliceous mineral waters in reduction of corrosion in RCC structures
(Metal Finishers' Association of India, 1996)The corrosion-resisting characteristics of reinforcement in cement blended with siliceous mineral wastes viz. gold tailing and flyash have been evaluated by using an accelerated corrosion technique. The additions of these ...
