Variation of significant wave periods during southwest monsoon in Phitti Creek, northern Arabian Sea, Pakistan
To study the wave characteristics a Waverider buoy was deployed in Phitti Creek of northern Arabian Sea at 24º 33′ N and 67º 03′ E for wave measurements during south-west monsoon (April-July) 1985 and 1986. Wave records in terms of significant wave period (Tz) were collected using Tucker’s method. Percentage frequency distribution, standard deviation (σ), mean (μ), highest significant wave period (HTz) and lowest significant wave period (LTz) values were computed for statistical analysis. For the year 1985 Tz were ranged between 5.05 s to 12.03 s; the lowest μ value of 5.05 s (with a σ 0.50 s, HTz 5.85 s and LTz 4.35 s) was observed in the 3rd week of May and the highest μ 12.03 s (with a σ of 3.45 s, HTz 15.38 s and LTz 8.96 s) was observed in the first week of August. In the year 1986 Tz were ranged between 6.65 s to 10.70 s; the lowest μ value of 6.65 s (with a σ 1.12 s, HTz 10.00 s and LTz 6.00 s) was observed in the 3rd week of April and the highest μ 10.70 s (with a σ of 1.78 s, HTz 14.28 s and LTz 7.89 s) was observed in the 3rd week of June.
