Long term in situ current data have been collected for a number of locations in the Gulf of Kutch and analysed. Tides in the area are of mixed type and are predominantly semidiurnal with a large diurnal inequality. The mean spring tidal range from month to the closed end of the Gulf ranges between 2.1 and 6.2 m. A correlation between tidal ranges and tidal current speeds has been established for Gurur and Bobby Shoals and off Narara Bet. The data reveal that the major steady currents in the area are of tidal origin. However, during south-west monsoon period, strong westerly winds would generate wind driven currents, with surface speeds reaching about 0.5 m/sec. The width of the Gulf narrows down between long. 69°E and 69°20'E causing |
