This month Webinars / Talks

Date and Time : 27th January 2022, Time: 16.00-17.00 IST

Topic : Indian Coastal Ocean Radar Network (ICORN) and its Application

About the Talk

NIOT operates “Indian Coastal Ocean Radar Network (ICORN)” as a part of Ocean Observation Network (OON) project of MoES. ICORN gives us an edge over conventional single point current measurements by providing two-dimensional surface circulation in near real time. These high-resolution data help in studying the dynamics of the coastal ocean, the interaction between physical and biological parameters in the ocean, transport mechanisms between the estuary and coastal waters. Assimilation of data from HFR systems improves the ocean circulation models and their validation.
