Description Analysis of the thermal structure in coastal waters off Visakhapatnam revealed sub-surface inversions during October. In postmonsoon, a good association existed between wind stress (tau) and total heat loss (Qe+Qs) and between SST and heat content (H) on diurnal scale. Horizontal eddy diffusion coefficient (Kx) estimated from the horizontal advection equation was 3 x 10 sup(4) cm sup(2).s sup(-1) during October. During February 1993, surface currents had magnitudes of 105-126 cm.s sup(-1) and the flow was towards north-east
