The hydrographic investigations of the shelf waters along the East coast of
India (in the Bay of Bengal) were conducted during the month of March 1963 from
Vishakhapatnam coast to Point Calimere coast on board the Researdi Vessel
VARUNA. Due to the hmited period available it was not possible to work out
any planned linear sections for dynamic studies and hence the ship had to resort
to a zig-zag track covering the shelf as far as possible within a duration of one week.
Observations of temperature and saUnity at all the 164 stations were done at 0, 5,
10, 20, 30 and 50 metres. Since the data collected do not permit to have a detailed
study of water masses along the East coast, the temperature and salinity characteristics
were subjected to a frequency jiistribution study and discussed in the
following text. Moreover, the whole area has been arbitrarily divided into four
regions, viz., Vishakhapatnam to Kakinada, Kakinada to Kottapatam, Kottapatam
to Madras and Madras to Point Calimere ; and the average temperature and
salinity conditions at selected isobaric levels have been discussed.
