Exploration of the Portuguese shipwreck in Goa waters
(Instute for Research in Social Science Humanities, 2006)The history of Portuguese shipwrecks began in Goa water since the first quarter of the sixteenth century. The marine and other related documents state that between sixteenth and eighteenth centuries a number of ships has ... -
Exploration and excavation of shipwrecks in Goa and adjoining waters 2005-2006
(NIO, India, 2006)As a part of the institutional project, 'Application of Geological and Geophysical methods in Marine Archaeology and Underwater Explorations, (OLP 0008)', exploration and excavation of shipwrecks have been carried out from ... -
Recent marine archaeological investigations along the Saurashtra coast, west coast of India
(Society for Marine Archaeology, NIO, 2006)Recent marine archaeological explorations have brought to light data on the existence of ancient ports at Miyani and Kindari Creek (Mul Dwarka) on the Saurashtra coast. A large number and varieties of stone anchors have ... -
Archaeological sites as indicators of ancient shorelines
(Society for Marine Archaeology, NIO, 2006)During the late Holocene, coastal configuration has undergone continuous changes due to various reasons like sea level fluctuations and shoreline shift. Several reasons are attributed like global warming causing polar ice ... -
Maritime archaeological explorations of Goa: Findings and interpretations
(Society for Marine Archaeology, NIO, 2006)Maritime archaeological explorations have been initiated in Goa waters for locating shipwrecks and port installations in coastal waters and riverbanks. Explorations have been carried out in Sunchi Reef, St George's Reef, ... -
Submerged Pagodas of Mahabalipuram - Study based on underwater investigations
(Society for Marine Archaeology, NIO, 2006)Mahabalipuram, the famous centre of Pallava art and architecture is situated on the east coast of India. The local traditions and the foreign accounts are vividly referring the submergence of six temples out of seven pagodas ... -

Observational evidence of upwelling off the southwest coast of India during June-July 2006
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, 2007)Considerable latitudinal variability exists in the forcing mechanisms and intensity of coastal upwelling along the southwest coast of India. Present work is based on the insitu observations conducted onboard FORV Sagar ... -
Observed coherency in the seasonal sea level fluctuations along the coastline of the Indian subcontinent
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, 2007)Seasonal sea level fluctuations result from oceanographic, meteorological and hydrological forcings. The largest seasonal signals of sea level, however, are primarily caused by hydrological forcings. The climatological ... -

Identification of internal waves off Visakhapatnam from Thermister chain
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, 2007)An analysis of Internal Wave (IW) signatures by in-situ observations off Visakhapatnam has been presented to study the impact of IWs on acoustic field. Temperature data were collected for 44 hours at an interval of 2 minutes ... -

Coastal processes at the southern tip of India during summer monsoon 2005
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, 2007)In situ temperature and wind data, during summer monsoon 2005, bring out some interesting features like, the existence of a purely wind driven upweiling system at the southern tip (ST), very adjacent to another remotely ... -

Dynamics of tidal and non-tidal currents along the southwest continental shelf of India
(School of Naval Oceanology and Meteorology, 2007)The tidal regimes over the continental shelves are often less documented due to lack of coastal water level data. This is of concern since continental shelves rule the global dissipation of tidal energy. The tides along ... -
Comparison of wind data from QuikSCAT and buoys in the Indian Ocean
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)The performance of QuikSCAT-derived wind vectors is evaluated using in-situ data from moored buoys over the Indian Ocean. The results show that the mean differences for wind speed and wind direction are 0.37 ms sup(-1) and ... -
Westward movement of eddies into the Gulf of Aden from the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)Sea level anomalies (SLA) from satellite altimetry (1993-2003) reveal the westward movement of mesoscale eddies in the Gulf of Aden. Inside the gulf the eddies move at a speed of approx. 6.0-8.5 cm s sup(-1), comparable ... -
Estimation of carrying capacity of the Gulf of Kachchh, west coast of India in relation to petroleum hydrocarbon through oil spill modeling
(Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, 2007)The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) is a semi-enclosed basin located in the northern part of the west coast of India, and opens to the Arabian Sea. GoK is about 170 km long and 75 km wide at the mouth, and encompasses several ...
