12 RAMA Data Access

13 Present status of Indian Ocean Argo floats 754 floats are active in the Indian Ocean (547 floats are active north of 40 S) 35% of floats iridium communication (higher vertical resolution ~ 2m) Few Tens of floats with biogeochemical sensors 71 % of the float have been QC ed in delayed mode

14 Argo Data System

15 Accessing Argo Data Official version available Global Data Assembly Centres (GDACs), GODAE and IFREMER: g-the-ocean/argo INCOIS provide range of services for IO, i.e. DMQC, archival, running user awareness workshops Argo float data products via INCOIS-Live Access Server Modelling of observed salinity

16 Indian Ocean Argo Data Viewer Available via UCSD website and INCOIS website

17 Beginner s guide to accessing Argo data available from

18 Drifters IBPIO coordinates drifters in the Indian Ocean

19 Accessing Drifter Data Global Drifter Program (GDP) Data Assembly Centre (DAC) INCOIS collates Indian drifter data in real time, undertakes quality control and made available via

29 Eastern Indian Ocean Upwelling Research Initiative (EIOURI) Purpose: To better understand physical and biogeochemical processes and their interactions associated with upwelling in the eastern Indian Ocean Duration: 5 years, from late 2015 to late 2020 (as one of the core activities of IIOE-2) Intensive observation cruises are being planned from several countries, including Australia, China, Indonesia, and Japan, under international collaborations Key target processes of EIOURI Fresh Water Inputs Monsoon BoB Circulations Heat Flux IndOOS data, particularly those from RAMA and satellite observations, are key to provide large-scale conditions EIOURI complements IndOOS in the eastern boundary region, both in terms of physical and biogeochamical observations Sri Lanka Dome Equatorial Upwelling Mixed layer dynamics Barrier Layer Annual Cycle Nitrogen Cycle Subsurface nutrient supply Eastern pole of IOD Ecosystem dynamic Plankton behavior Primary/Net production Intraseasonal Kelvin Wave Tuna spawning area Sumatra Upwelling Java Upwelling Indonesian Throughflow NW Australia shelf region Ningaloo Nino/Nina Leeuwin Current Meso-scale Eddies

30 Ocean Mixing and Monsoon (OMM)-Air-Sea Interaction Research Initiative (ASIRI) Collaborative between National Monsoon Mission Program, (MoES), India- Office of Naval Research, US Objective: To obtain multi-scale observation in the near surface layer in the Bay of Bengal to improve our knowledge on the air-sea exchange and sub-mesoscale process ØField survey in the Bay of Bengal 22 August-09 September, 2014 using the ORV Sagar Nidhi (Phase-IV) 24 November-13 December, 2014 ORV Sagar Nidhi (phase-v) Ø Deployment of Air-Sea Interaction METeorology (ASIMET) System Deployed on 11 November, 2014 at 18 N and 89.5 E in Northern BoB Surface meteorology and radiation with ASIMET packages T, S, and current with fine vertical and temporal resolution ADCP currents along the ship track at 44 m (red) and 24 m (black) depth during August, SST ( C) from BoB ASIMET Microstructure profiler data collected at 17º42'N, 89º05E ASIMET system

31 Summary IndOOS data continues to support operational and research interests New data inputs to IndOOS through IIOE-2 Data & Information management key focus of IIOE-2 Data & Information Management Working Group under IIOE-2 governance structure
