Abstract

SAtellite-based Marine Process Understanding, Development, Research and Applications (SAMUDRA) for blue economy, a technology development program of the Space Applications Centre, is an umbrella program covering research and applications geared toward physical and biological oceanography making use of current and future satellite observations for developing the nation’s blue economy. The main motivation behind this project was to develop satellite and numerical model-based information and value-added products and to demonstrate the implementation of developed applications for operational requirements. The program also aimed at improving existing methodologies for various applications by utilizing space-based inputs. Several field campaigns with the use of NavIC-enabled instruments and NABHMITRA were conducted for measuring biophysical parameters and validation of developed applications in the coastal regions. One of the key aspects of this project was development of web-based customized tools/dissemination system for providing the information to the end users. Some of the key/notable achievements of SAMUDRA were development of a portal OceanEye (tailor-made web-portal for Shipping Corporation of India), storm-surge/inundation system, oil-spill trajectory modeling, level-next potential fishing zone algorithm and rip current alert system.
