| Abstract: | Wave characteristics off the Paradip Coast, Orissa, India have been studied from the IMD data. Predominant directions of the waves (frequencies > 10%) are SW, SSW, S, N and NE with frequencies in decreasing order. Large number of waves posses wave heights < 1.25 m and periods < 7 sec. On about 4% of days in an year waves with heights ranging from 3.75 to 4.75 m and periods > 17 sec prevail which coincides with the time sever stormy weather (wind speeds > 62.5 km/hr) occurs in the Bay of Bengal. Frequency distribution of waves from different directions during an year has been found to be closely related to the frequency distribution of surface wind directions off Paradip Coast. |
