Operational Services Training to National Institute of Hydrography Officers (NIH - Advance Hydrography Course)
on 12 September, 2024, Organized by
International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean), ESSO-INCOIS,
Hyderabad, India
The current course will provide exposure to the National Institute of Hydrography Officers who are undergoing Advance Hydrography Course, on the various products and services developed by INCOIS for various operational requirements. INCOIS has developed specialised online tools for their requirements like the Search and Rescue Aid Tool (SARAT) for supporting search and rescue operations in the sea, in case of any untoward incidents in the sea; Online Oil Spill Advisory (OOSA) system for providing oil spill trajectory forecast during oil spill incidents. Regular ocean state forecasts (winds, waves, currents, tides) covering the geographical region of their interests is also provided routinely, for movement of their vehicles. Also, INCOIS have developed MaMeAT and SoVeT tools for operational use by Indian navy from marine meteorological data and sub-surface profiles measured by Argo floats. Hands on to use products will also be imparted as a part of this training. Apart from these, they will be exposed to the Indian Tsunami Early Warning Services, Remote Sensing data reception and processing and instruments used for obtaining in situ data from the ocean. This will be helpful to the officers, who are going to be placed in various operations of Indian Navy. The course is designed to be a mix of Lab visits and theoretical sessions, covering the areas of interest.
- Over view of INCOIS activities.
- Understand the data and products on ocean state forecast for operations.
