INCOIS

INCOIS is India's national ocean information centre, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Earth Sciences that deploys and maintains ocean observing systems in the Indian Ocean. In The Buoy, this source covers India.

INCOIS's About page says the body, established in 1999, is mandated to provide ocean information and advisory services through sustained ocean observations. It issues daily ocean-state forecasts (waves, currents, temperature) for fishers, shipping, the oil and gas industry, the Navy and the Coast Guard, and it is designated National Oceanographic Data Centre by UNESCO's IOC/IODE.
