Abstract

Oceans play a major role on global weather and climate patterns. However, the coastal zones are more susceptible to hazards as global ocean climate changes and utilization of coastal resources increases. Thus, coastal observation has to support the societal economy of the country by protecting coasts and the people. Indian coastal ocean observational networks consist of moored buoys, drifters, current meters, wave rider buoys, Argo floats, tide gauges, coastal radars, and acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). This paper discusses the cost effective moored buoy system established in India with General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) communication and intelligent power management system for a coastal ocean observation network. These moored buoys have capacities of rapid-mode real-time observation of metocean parameters during cyclone and real-time video transmission called Surveillance System (SS). These moored buoys are used for calibration and validation (CAL-VAL) of satellite remote sensing and to analyze the coral reefs. © Journal of Ocean Technology 2018.
