"Discovery and Use of Operational Ocean Data Products and Services"
during 25 Oct - 05 Nov, 2021
Organized by
International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean) ESSO-INCOIS, Hyderabad, India


Overview:

This course will demonstrate the data resources available from operational services of INCOIS. The focus will be on operational activities, various data and data products, outputs from INCOIS services, how to download them and use software to visualize. It will be a mix of practical and theoretical. The theory and hands on will be covered during 25 - 29th Oct, 2021 and post course assignment will be covered during 01 - 05th Nov, 2021.
