Present
study reviews the characteristics of tidal propagation on the continental shelf
off the central west coast of India.
Available observations from tide gauges are used to describe the variations of
tidal ranges along the west coast. Amplitudes and phases from a global tidal
model in the open ocean and those at the coast are used to construct
co-amplitude and
co-phase lines of M2 and K1, which are the largest among
the semi-diurnal and diurnal constituents respectively. One of the
characteristic features off the central west coast of India, particularly north of
Mumbai, is the amplification of semi-diurnal constituents caused primarily by
large width of the continental shelf in the region.
