| Zusammenfassung |
| The wave growth characteristics during the onset of summer monsoon in a
swell dominated open ocean at a location off the west coast of India at 14 m
water depth are studied. 67% of the measured waves are due to the swells
arriving from south and south-west and the balance was due to the seas from
south-west to north-west. Wave age of the measured data indicates that the
measured waves are young sea with presence of swells. Even when the wind
speed reduced to less than 3 m/s, significant wave height more than 2 m is
present due to the swells in the Arabian Sea. The maximum wave height
increased from 2 to 8 m within 60 h. The mean wave directions at the high
frequencies align with the westerly wind direction and gradually shift to
south-westerly swell direction at low frequencies during the wave growth.
The strong westerly winds present between longitude 72° and 72.5°
at latitude 12.5° has created the high waves (Hm0 upto 5.65 m)
during the measurement period. |
