| Abstract | Coastal lagoons are prominent features along many of the worlds sand coasts. Unlike estuaries, a large amount of lagoon volume is exchanged via tidal draining and repletion. We sought to quantify the repletion and residual water volumes in a coastal lagoon using satellite remote sensing. In the Great Machipongo Lagoon approximately 53% of the basin capacity drains out with each ebb tide, leaving a residual volume of about 47%. While the repletion footprint indicates the area of the lagoon that is completely flushed with each tide, residual water flushes at a much slower rate. The footprint of repletion water at full tide covers about 30% of the outer part of the lagoon. A fraction of the residual water is entrained into the repletion water mass along the plume frontal boundary. This allows a relatively small percent of the residual water to be exchanged with the coastal ocean. Thermal responses in ASTER imagery indicate zonation as well as areas of continuous mixing of repletion and residual waters. Comparison of remote sensing data with the tidal volume suggests that about 2-4% of the residual water mass is entrained along the frontal boundary during each tidal cycle and flushing of the residual water mass takes about 25-50 tidal cycles. The overall approach portends further application of thermal satellite remote sensing for monitoring estuarine and lagoon flushing and repletion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
