Coastal circulation in the North Indian Ocean: Coastal segment (14,S-W)
(John Wiley and Sons, New York, USA, 1998)The article provides an overview of the circulation of the coastal regime of the North Indian Ocean stretching from southern coast of Indonesia to the coast of East Africa. A special feature of this regime is that it ... -
Seasonal and inter-annual sea surface height variations of the northern Indian Ocean from the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)The seasonal and inter-annual variability of the northern Indian Ocean was studied by analysing 10-day snapshots of sea surface height (SSH) data from TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter for the period November 1992 to August 1995. ... -
Modelling of coastal current and thermal plume dispersion - A case study off Nagapattinam, east coast of India
(Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory, Thrikkakara, Kochi, India, 1998)Thermal plume simulation has been carried out using a 2D model to understand the nature of spreading and rate of cooling of warm water discharge from a proposed outfall in the nearshore region off Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, ... -
Retrieval and processing of atmospheric parameters from satellite data
(Pergamon, 1998)Remote sensing of each of passive microwave channels enables one to estimate the atmospheric parameters over oceans on a repetitive basis throughout the year. Such a data base forms a useful tool in the study of complex ... -
Mixing and flushing time scales in the Azhikode Estuary, southwest coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Flushing time scales of the Azhikode Estuary, Kerala, India showed pronounced dry season and wet season signals as well as large inter-annual variation. Cumulative flushing time of the estuary varies from 4.8 tide cycles ... -
Moisture source for summer monsoon rainfall over India
(The Association of Hydrologists of India, 1998)Southwest monsoon plays a vital role in India's economy as the major income comes from agriculture. What could be the moisture source for this copious amount of rainfall over the Indian sub-continent?. This has been studied ... -
Detection of Bay of Bengal eddies from TOPEX and insitu observations
(Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory, Thrikkakara, Kochi, India, 1998)Oceanic eddies are characterised by gradients in the sea surface height (SSH) and temperature both at the surface and the subsurface. However, since the Bay of Bengal waters are more stratified, the gradients in SST may ... -
Various approaches to the modelling of large scale 3-dimensional circulation in the Ocean
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)In this paper, the three different approaches to the modelling of large scale 3-dimensional flow in the ocean such as the diagnostic, semi-diagnostic (adaptation) and the prognostic are discussed in detail. Three-dimensional ... -
West India coastal current and Lakshadweep High/Low
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1998)The West India Coastal Current (WICC) flows northward during November-February and southward during April-September. At the time of formation of the northward (southward) phase of the current, a high (low) in sea level - ... -
Attenuation of surface waves due to monsoon rains: A model study for the north Indian Ocean
(Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory, Thrikkakara, Kochi, India, 1998)The dynamic interaction of intense rain with waves based on momentum exchange is applied to a second generation wave model to predict wave attenuation during monsoon. The scheme takes into account the characteristics of ... -
An evaluation of XBT depth equations for the Indian Ocean
(Pergamon, 1998)For the purpose of finding XBT depth equations applicable to the entire Indian Ocean experiments were carried out through the collection of controlled XBT-CTD data on four cruises. These experiments were conducted in various ... -
Fine particle deposition at Vainguinim tourist beach, Goa, India
(Coastal Research Foundation, 1998)Vainguinim Beach is a small and narrow pocket beach located on the rocky coast of Dona Paula Bay, at the estuarine front of the Zuari River in Goa, India. The beach has been widely used for recreation and swimming by a ... -
Air-sea interaction over the Indian Ocean during the two contrasting monsoon years 1987 and 1988 studied with satellite data
(Springer, 1998)The air-sea interaction processes over the tropical Indian Ocean region are studied using sea surface temperature data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer sensor onboard the NOAA series of satellites. The ... -
Northern and southern water masses in the equatorial Atlantic: Distribution of nutrients on the WOCE A6 and A7 lines
(Pergamon, 1998)In the framework of the WOCE Hydrographic Program, two trans-Atlantic CTDO/tracer sections with closely-spaced stations, along 7 degrees 30'N and 4 degrees 30'S (WHP Lines A6 and A7), and two meridional sections, along 3 ... -
Measurement of inherent optical properties in the Arabian Sea
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Inherent optical properties, absorption and began attenuation were measured in situ using a reflective tube absorption meter at nint wavelength, 412, 440, 488, 510, 555, 630, 650, 676 and 715 nm, in the Arabian Sea during ... -
Dynamics of currents in the coastal region of India

Internet vis-a-vis marine biology
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Internet is an amalgum of networks which reaches to more than 100 million people across the globe. The satellite-telecommunication based computer network web hosts information on every aspect of life. Marine biology related ... -
Management of mangroves for energy needs
(Annamalai Univ., Parangipettai (India), 1998)Utilization of mangroves for firewood and fodder is quite common along the Indian coast. In order to maintain the supply of different beneficial products, conservation and management practices with large scale afforestation ... -
