Marine Data Services at National Oceanographic Data Centre-India

In this paper we introduce about the marine data archived at Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), Ministry of Earth Sciences, India. Heterogeneous data from in situ, remote sensing and ocean models are archived. In-situ ocean observations includes data from Lagrangian as well Eulerian platforms like Argo floats, moored buoys etc, while remote sensing include data from NOAA satellite series, OceanScat etc. The data generated is translated into ocean information services through analysis and modelling. Data is disseminated to users using variety of means like web with GIS features, ERDDAP, Live Access server with facilities to search, visualize and download.
