    WAVE FORECASTING FOR THE WEST COAST OF IHDIA
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1970) Dattatri, J.; Renukaradhya, P.S.
    The applicability of the general Wave Forecasting procedures like the SMB and the PNJ methods, to the Indian coasts is studied. The study consisted in analysing the bynoptic charts to obtain the necessary wind characteristics. The computed wind characteristics were used in the above Forecasting methods to yield significant wave heights These were compared with the wave characteristics as recorded by a sub-surface pressure type recorder after suitable modifications to account for the attenuation of wave pressure with depth. The predicted wave heights compare well with the recorded wave heights and the SMB method predicts wave heights better for the case studied. © 1970 American Society of Civil Engineers.

    FIELD STUDY OP SURATHKAL BEACH
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1970) Suryaprakasa Rao, P.; Kassim, P.
    Beach profile observations and sediment sampling were carried out for six months at frequent intervals to study the seasonal changes of the beach. Iht study is helpful in bringing out the qualitative and quantitative changes of the beach under varying wave and tide conditions. Useful information is obtained and presented regarding i) the maximum rate of erosion ii) the total quantity of material eroded iii) the critical wave steepness values which changed from depositing to eroding nature and iv) the sediment characteristics of the beach. © 1970 American Society of Civil Engineers.
