Aerosol properties over the Arabian Sea during the north east monsoon
(India Meteorological Society, Chennai (India), 1999)Knowledge of the variations of the aerosol properties is essential for the development of the satellite atmospheric correction algorithms. The measurements were carried-out during a cruise using a six channel spectral sun ... -
Near-surface circulation and kinetic energy in the tropical Indian Ocean derived from lagrangian drifters
(Yale University, 1999)Trajectories of 412 satellite-tracked drifting buoys deployed in the tropical Indian Ocean have been analyzed to document the surface circulation and kinetic energy field. Only drifters drogued at 15 m depth and having ... -
Formation and spreading of Arabian Sea high-salinity water mass
(American Geophysical Union, 1999)The formation and seasonal spreading of the Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW) mass were studied based on the monthly mean climatology of temperature and salinity in the Arabian Sea, north of the equator and west of ... -
Freshwater flushing time scales of the Vashishti Estuary, west coast of India
(Taylor and Francis, 1999)Results are presented for the Vashishti estuary, Kerala, India to evaluate its freshwater flushing time scales based on 8 sets of observations of longitudinal salinity distributions. The results of the flushing time using ... -
Propagation of tides in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine network
(ICMAM-PD, Chennai (India), 1999)The propagation of tides in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine network was studied based on the hydrographic observations; mathematical modelling; and chemistry of estuaries. The data was collected during the dry and wet season. ... -
Hydrography and circulation of the Bay of Bengal during withdrawal phase of the southwest monsoon
(Ifremer/ CNRS/ IRD/ Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves, 1999)Hydrographic data were collected from 3 to 10 September 1996 along two transects: one at 18 degrees N and the other at 90 degrees E. The data were used to examine the thermohaline, circulation and chemical properties of ... -
On the role of the cross equatorial flow on summer monsoon rainfall over India using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data
(Springer, 1999)The role of the cross equatorial flow from the southern Indian Ocean on the Indian Summer monsoon is examined using the National Centre for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) ... -
Tidal regime in Gulf of Kutch, west coast of India, by 2D model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A 2D barotropic numerical model is developed for the Gulf of Kutch with a view to synthesize available information on tides and currents in the Gulf. A comparison of model results with moored current meter observations ... -
Current structure and kinetic energy of the abyssal waters in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)Analysis of abyssal currents measured at 7 levels viz., 4, 8, 15, 30, 50, 100 and 500 mab during October 1996-April 1997 at 10 degrees 01'S, 76 degrees E in the Benthic Disturbance Experiment Site (BDES) in the Central ... -
Propagation of tides in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1999)The Mandovi and the Zuari are two shallow estuaries that are located in Goa and join the Arabian Sea. The main channel of each is about 50 km long, has its cross-sectional area decreasing rapidly in the upstream direction, ... -
On the role of sea surface temperature variability over the Tropical Indian Ocean in relation to summer monsoon using satellite data
(Elsevier, 1999)The sea surface temperature (SST) variability over the tropical Indian Ocean is studied for the period January 1988 to December 1992 using the multichannel sea surface temperature (MCSST) from the NOAA series of satellites. ... -
Surface meteorological conditions at benthic disturbance experiment site - INDEX area during austral winter 1997
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)Benthic Disturbance Experiment surveys in the Central Indian Ocean Basin yielded baseline data on surface meteorological conditions during June and August, 1997 together with sea surface temperature (SST) and could data ... -
Tidal propagation in the Gulf of Khambhat, Bombay High, and surrounding areas
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1999)The continental shelf on the west coast of India is widest off Bombay and leads into a strongly converging channel, the Gulf of Khambhat. Tides in the Gulf are among the largest on the coast. Data on amplitude and phase ... -
A multi-level adaptation model of circulation for the western Indian Ocean
(John Wiley, 1999)A three-dimensional, fully non-linear semi-diagnostic (adaptation) model is described. This model is used to compute the climatological mean circulation and to understand the role of local, steady forcing of the wind and ... -
Data analysis methods in physical oceanography. By Emery, W.J. and Thomson, R.E.

Impact investigations of access channel modifications of Cochin harbour, India
(COPEDEC, 1999)Though the modernization projects over the decades for harbour development also brought about several severe environmental modifications in Cochin harbour, along the west coast of India, so far, the physical processes ... -
Hydrographic characteristics of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)Oceanographic studies in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean (58-61 degrees S and 30-40 degrees E) carried out during December 1995 and March 1996 indicate a 3-layer structure typical of summer in the oceanic domain ... -
Acoustic tomography experiment in the eastern Arabian Sea
(European Acoustics Association, 1999)An acoustic transmission experiment was conducted in the eastern Arabian Sea along 12.5 degrees N latitude for a duration of ten days (2-12 May, 1993), with two transceiver systems deployed on deep sea moorings, separated ... -
On the suitability of global algorithms for the retrieval of SST from the north Indian Ocean using NOAA/AVHRR
(Taylor and Francis, 1999)The errors associated with the SST retrievals from the north Indian Ocean, using global multichannel sea surface temperature (MCSST), nonlinear sea surface temperature (NLSST), and Pathfinder sea surface temperature (PFSST) ... -
Dynamics of circulation of the waters around India
(Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi (India), 1999)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 ...
