Estimation of Horizontal Diffusivity on East Coast of Peninsular India
نویسنده
چکیده
Dye diffusion study to obtain the horizontal diffusivity is often carried now a day. Data obtained by Indomer coastal hydraulics by conducting dye tracing experiments at several parts of coastal India, were used and have been analyzed to estimate horizontal mixing coefficients. The data of these studies are used to find out the dispersion coefficients and the oceanic diffusivity is reviewed. Analysis of the data from the 3 sites which had the most complete data sets showed that the horizontal dispersion coefficient ranged from 0·443×10to 6.5×10cm/sec. The estimated mixing coefficients are compared with those values obtained by earlier studies KeywordDye, Rhoda mine-B, Diffusion, Horizontal mixing coefficient, Coastal Waters

Influence of river discharge on abundance and dissemination of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic bacteria along the East Coast of India.
In order to examine the influence of discharge from different rivers from peninsular India and urban sewage on intensity and dissemination of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic bacteria, a study was carried out during peak discharge period along coastal Bay of Bengal. The coastal Bay received freshwater inputs from the river Ganges while Godavari and Krishna contributed to the south. Contr...

A three-dimensional Regional Ocean Modelling System is used to study the tidal characteristics and their dynamics in the Sunda Shelf of the southern South China Sea. In this model, the outer domain is set with a 25 km resolution and the inner one, with a 9 km resolution. Calculations are performed on the inner domain. The model is forced at the sea surface by climatological monthly mean wind st...
متن کاملA comparative study on morphometric and meristic characters of Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch, 1791) in the coasts of India
A total of 200 threadfin bream Nemipterus japonicus was collected from Chennai in the east coast and Kochi in the west coast during January to February 2013 and studied for their morphometric and meristic characters. In total, 21 characters were analyzed out of which 3 characters namely dorsal, ventral and anal fins were not considered since they were unaltered. The findings indicate that 91% o...
