A Preliminary View of Storm Surges Before and After Storm Modifications for Alongshore-moving Storms


Book Description

Numerical means are used to compute storm surges (meteorological tides) in a standard basin of constant slope, bounded by a straightline coast. All storm tracks in this study are constrained to lie parallel to the coast; the storm can lie at any distance from the coast and travel with any speed, but once set, the distance and speed are invariant with time. Two driving forces, wind stress and atmospheric pressure gradient, are used to generate surges; they are derived from an analytic wind profile. The model storm is described with two invariant parameters, storm size and difference between ambient and central pressure of the storm.







Oceanology

The Arabian Sea And The Bay Of Bengal Together Account For About 3% Of The World Oceanic Area, But Receive Close To 9% Of Global River Run Off. This Relatively Large Fresh Water Input Modulates Some Important Features Of The Northern Indian Ocean. This Book Covers The Physical, Biological And Chemical Conditions That Are Unique To Our Seas.Each Paper Is Written By An Expert In The Field And Deals With Issues Like Drugs From The Ocean, Harnessing Thermal Resources, Predicting Cyclones, Pollution, Mineral And Gas Hydrate Resources.







Innovative Trends in Hydrological and Environmental Systems


Book Description

This book presents select proceedings of the International Virtual Conference on Trends in Hydrological and Environmental Systems (ITHES 2021). Various topics covered in this book include urban hydrology, hydrological extremes, statistical analysis of hydro-meteorological data, impacts of climate change, hydrological modelling, groundwater studies, water resource management and applications of RS & GIS in hydrology. The book also discusses various topics on applications of CFD in water resources and environmental engineering, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management and air quality. The book will be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in environmental civil engineering, especially hydrological and environmental systems.
