Description 88-91
Currents and temperature structures and their short term variation at a station (water depth 250 m) off Godavari were studied from time series data collected during 24-28 Sept. 1980. The surface drift was of the order of 2 to 3 knot and was directed towards NE to E. Currents recorded at different depths (15, 115 and 240) had speeds < 1 knot showed variation in direction with time and exhibited a velocity shear. They do not seem to be influenced much by the tides. Temperature of the surface waters was about 30ᵒC and that of the near bottom waters was about 11.5ᵒC. There was no well defined mixed layer and the temperature gradually decreased with depth during most of the period.
