Abstract

The diurnal variation of temperature of air, atmospheric pressure and evaporation over sea and of temperature and salinity of sea water about 55 miles off Visakhapatnam coast oil 30 October 1952, is studied. Some of the main features are the cooling of air over the sea in the afternoon due to stronger surface wind, the smaller diurnal component of pressure over sea when compared to that of an inland station and the influence of tide besides evaporation on the diurnal variation of salinity.
