Wave data collected off Ratnagiri, Goa and Dwarka along the west coast of India during winter season (NE monsoon early pre-monsoon) present distinct wave characteristics with periodicity ranging between 2 5 days associated shamal events. The notable these events are: an increase in height, decrease swell period a common propagation direction (northwest) for wind sea swell. IFREMER/CERSAT blended winds clearly show presence strong northwesterly Arabian Peninsula northwestern Sea, which are...
Qatar’s rapid industrialization, notably in its capital city Doha, has spurred a surge land reclamation projects, leading to constriction of the entrance Doha Bay. By reducing and deflecting ocean circulation, projects have reduced effective dispersion wastewater introduced into bay hence degraded water quality. Here, we assess fluctuations residence time across three distinct eras (1980, 2000, 2020) gauge impact successive developments. To do this, couple multi-scale model SLIM with...
The spatial distribution, sources and characteristics of marine litter (ML) from 36 locations spread over 12 beaches along the west coast Qatar have been assessed. A total 2376 ML items with varying sizes were found an average abundance 1.98 items/m2. order was as follows: plastics (71.4%) > metal (9.3%) glass (5.1%) paper (4.4%) fabric (4.0%) rubber (3.9%) processed wood (2.0%). Locations in south northwest coasts had significantly higher concentrations ML. Surprisingly, nearly 47% beached...
Exploitation of conventional energy resources has caused a deliberate increase in the emitted carbon atmosphere, which catalyzes global warming trends. This is matter concern, especially Qatar, where fossil fuels (oil and gas) are largely relied upon for power production. The dependency on such could be gradually reduced by utilizing clean renewable energy. Resource characterization an important step to evaluate potentiality available sources. Wind one among them, not been assessed reliably...
Abstract Persistent and periodic northerly low‐level jets have been identified in the South Asian mid‐latitudes subtropics, which are modified by presence of Makran mountain ranges adjacent to central south coast Pakistan, where they blow predominantly west‐northwest northeast directions. These winds lead generation a new wave system propagate through Arabian Sea as “makran swells”. They prevalent during October May. The measurements along west India reveal systematic variations spectra...
Abstract. An analysis of altimeter significant wave height data May 2007 revealed the occurrence an extreme weather event off southern tip South Africa in Atlantic Ocean, and generation a series very high swells at 40° S. These propagated towards northeast broke over La Réunion island Indian Ocean on 12 2007. The model WAVEWATCH III was used to study propagation these Ocean. validated for using moored buoy locations merged data. accurately reproduced Swell heights, order 15.0 m, area reduced...
The southwest coast of India is exposed to long-period swells propagated from the South Indian Ocean during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Although Southern Atlantic were identified in North Ocean, their existence impact along not well investigated. On 19 March 2019, Valiyathura-Shangumukham coastal stretch experienced an unexpected inundation without having a prompt forecast/warning, induced by storm/cyclone its vicinity. present study investigates causative forces this estimates wave runup...
Abstract. An attempt has been made to understand the co-existence of wind seas and swells along west coast India during non-monsoon season. Wave data were collected in different years season (off Goa May 2005, off Ratnagiri January–February 2008 Dwarka December 2007–January 2008), which is fairly a calm weather these regions. Diurnal variation wave parameters noticeable central Ratnagiri), due interaction multidirectional waves (both swells) varying magnitudes frequencies. Swells are...
This study describes the climatology of shamal winds in Arabian Sea using recent 30 years (1987–2016) ERA‐Interim winds. The events were distinguished based on typical directions, duration and intensity Three potential zones identified northwestern Sea, which are areas where predominant swells have been generated. number events, estimated for various months years. trends derived spatial extent was assessed. results show that shamals decrease Sea. Contrasting observed intensities—significant...
