Earth Observation Satellites (EOS-04 & EOS-06) Data for Ocean Applications
on 22 August, 2023, Organized by
International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean), ESSO-INCOIS,
Hyderabad, India

Overview

The current training will provide exposure to utilization of Earth Observation (EO) satellites data especially EOS-04 & EOS-06 satellites to address various ocean applications. These two Indian EO missions provide the data in microwave (EOS-04, C-band SAR) and optical & microwave (EOS-06: Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM3) & Ku-band scatterometer) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

During the course of the training program the participants will be educated / made aware of the freely available data sources for ocean applications in the field of microwave and optical remote sensing. The availability of data sources for EOS-04 & EOS-06 data sets from ISRO web portals will be demonstrated. The participants will be made available to use the FREELY available software packages for processing these sensors data sets such as visualization, merging, binning (spatial and temporal) and identification of various oceanic features / processes using these two satellite data sets.

At the end of the training participants will be taken to the earth station of INCOIS for witnessing the real-time data acquisition of the EOS-06 OCM-3 data and few other facilities at INCOIS.

Aims and Objectives

• Overview of Earth Observation (EO) satellites.
• Understand the data and products on EO satellite for operations.
• Visualize freely available data through Bhoonidhi and INCOIS web portal.
• Exposure to remote sending products and services of INCOIS.
• Remote sensing lab visits to INCOIS ground station.

Learning Outcome

• Knowledge and understanding of EOS-04 & EOS-06 data sets and products.
• Capability to use the access the data freely available for use along with their applications.

Target Audience

• Target audience is limited to the early career professional, students, researchers and other participants registered for OSICON-2023 national conference.
