Wave Climate and Sediment Transport Modelling Along Coromandel Coast

By Usha Natesan

Data from satellites are invaluable for applications including long term climate studies and engineering design. Most present applications of wind wave research for coastal engineering and environmental purposes involve the use of numerical models that simulate the evolution of directional wave energy spectra in time or space or both which can be used to forecast climate change, currents, and waves. Most important advantage is that they interpolate between sparse observations of the ocean produced by ships, drifters, and satellites. The present study aims to hind cast waves in offshore and nearshore areas using QuikSCAT wind components and numerical modeling.
