| Recent advances in fast computers have helped in developing numerical models for the study of estuarine and coastal dynamics. So far, different workers have made definitions of an estuary mainly based on salinity considerations. For example, following PRITCHARD (1965), an estuary may be defined as "a semi enclosed body of water having a free connection with the open sea within which sea water is mesurably diluted with fresh water derived from land drainage". In the case of european estuaries, which are caracterised by high tidal ranges, the tidal action extends well beyond the penetration of salinity. SALOMON (personal communications), gives a more appropriate definition for the limits of an estuary as follows at the mouth, where a cross sectional line... |

| The Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS), established in 2006, is a multi-national network of sustained oceanic measurements that underpin understanding and forecasting of weather and climate for the Indian Ocean region and beyond. Almost one-third of humanity indeed lives around the Indian Ocean, many in countries dependent on fisheries and rain-fed agriculture that are vulnerable to climate variability and extremes. The Indian Ocean alone has absorbed a quarter of the global oceanic heat uptake over the last two decades and the fate of this heat and its impact on future change is unknown. Climate models project accelerating sea level rise, more frequent extremes in monsoon rainfall, and decreasing oceanic productivity. In view of these new scientific... |
