Inertial oscillation forced by the September 1997 cyclone in the Bay of Bengal

Time-series measurements from a moored data buoy located in the Bay of Bengal captured signals of inertial oscillation forced by the September 1997 cyclone. The progressive vector diagram showed mean northeastward current with well-defined clockwise circulation. Spectral analysis exhibited inertial peak at 0.67 cpd with blue shift and high rotary coefficient of –0.99, which signifies strong circular inertial oscillation. The wind and SST also exhibited spectral peak at inertial band (0.69 cpd) with higher blue shift. The inertial amplitude of 148.8 cm/s corresponding to a wind stress of 0.99 N/m2 and spectral peak near the local inertial frequency (0.653 cpd) indicate that the transfer of momentum was high.

Thermodynamics of transfer of polar nonelectrolytes from water to aqueous salt solutions

The Setschenow parameter and thermodynamic parameters of transfer of a number of monosubstituted benzoic acids from water to different salt solutions have been reported. The data have been rationalized by considering the structure breaking effects of the ions of the salts, the localised hydrolysis model, the internal pressure theory and Symons' theory of water structure.

Thermodynamic Parameters of Transfer of 2-Nitrobenzoic Acid & 3-Nitrobenzoic Acid from Water to Aqueous Salt Solutions

The Setschenow parameters of solubility in salt solutions and the thermodynamic parameters (25·C) of transfer from aqueous solution to aqueous salt solutions for 2-nitrobenzoic acid and 3-nitrobenzoic acid have been reported. The data have been rationalized on the basis of the localized hydrolysis model and the structure breaking action of ions of the electrolytes.

Thermodynamics of Transfer of Aminobenzoic Acids from Water to Aqueous Salt Solutions

The Setschenow parameter and thermodynamic parameters of transfer of 2- and 4-aminobenzoic acids from water to salt solutions have been reported. The results are discussed in terms of the structure- breaking effects of the ions of the salts, the localized hydrolysis model, and the internal pressure theory.
