Brief Description (Abstract):

Recognising the imperative to improve the oceanographic services and predictive capability of short term and long term climatic changes as well as to increase the understanding of the ocean dynamics the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MOES) established the National Data Buoy Programme in 1997. The programme is being implemented by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), Chennai. The moored buoy network has been providing time series data on met-ocean parameters from the seas surrounding India, since 1997. INCOIS has been identified as the Data Centre to provide the moored buoy data to the users on request.
