National Oceanographic Data Centre at INCOIS Also recognized as Responsible National Oceanographic Data

Centre (RNODC) by IOC/UNESCO

• INCOIS developed the Ocean Data and Information System (ODIS), a one-stop-shop for various oceanographic data from the Indian Ocean.

• INCOIS receives voluminous and heterogeneous data from various in-situ and remote sensing ocean observing systems in real-time, processes, quality control and disseminate for various operational activities by INCOIS, IMD, Indian Navy, Coast Guard etc. and also provide web-based data services to the users.

• INCOIS also hosts project specific data from different national and international scientific programmes viz., CTCZ, Geotraces, Ocean Biogeographic Information System etc.

Data from buoys during Phailin and wave forecasts

12/10/013 1012 IST

14/10/013 1712 IST

Buoy drifted over 320 km during 2.5 days with an average speed of 1.80 ms-1 (before the landfall buoy drifted at 4.25 ms-1)

Data from wave rider buoy off Gopalpur during Phailin and wave forecasts

Forecasted trajectory and actual trajectory of wave rider buoy during Phailin

The model simulated the trajectory of the wave rider buoy realistically in the first 36 hours.

Afterwards, the model simulated track tends to diverge from the observed trajectory.

Based on the forecasts issued on 11-10-2013 for the next 3 days
