The India training programmer was focused on ocean colour/remote sensing of primary
production and ecosystem modeling, and represented synergistic interests of the host
organizations. The course was focussed on the following:
•
•
•
•
Ocean modelling with data assimilation for providing description of past, present and
future state of ocean at appropriate spatial and temporal resolutions.
Contribution to weather/monsoon/mlimate forecast by providing forcing for
Atmospheric Models.
Understanding of the variability of ocean and marine environment.
Simulation experiments to optimize the observation system.
INCOIS and NIO/AU have played a dominant role in study of the Indian Ocean over the
past several years. It is not possible to review all accomplishments related to the Indian
Ocean, but those most relevant to the training program include two areas within satellite
oceanography:
•
•
Satellite Coastal and Oceanographic Research (SATCORE). The goal of
SATCORE is to establish long-term time-series in situ observations of key physical
and bio-geo-chemical parameters in Indian coastal waters and the generation of webdisseminated near-real-time satellite data products that are of benefit to science and
society.
ChloroGIN – Chlorophyll Global Integrated Network. The Indian Ocean
component of ChloroGIN (called ChloroGIN-IO), is endorsed by GOOS and
IOGOOS as one its pilot projects. INCOIS is the coordinating and implementation
agency. The aim of the project is to provide ocean colour data products to users at
near real-time (NRT) for research as well as operational activities such as
identification of potential fishing zones (PFZ advisories).
INCOIS and NIO/AU have also played a significant role in the development and
implementation of ecosystem modelling of the Indian Ocean. Specially, activities to date
include:
•
Ocean Modelling. The goal of the ocean modelling program is to enhance the basic
understanding and knowledge base on oceanic and atmospheric processes. This
knowledge and database will be used, for instance, to enhance predictability of ocean
and climate, coastal processes, catastrophic weather events, and to improve
operational prediction by respective national agencies. A few key projects are worth
mentioning:
o Observing and Modelling the Interaction between the Indian Ocean,
Atmosphere, and Coastal Seas.
o Indian Climate and Phytoplankton Variability
o
India, like other developing countries, requires an educated, well-trained cadre of young
scientists to enhance on-going and future research and outreach in ocean sciences. In fact, a
major tenet Lack of trained personnel is considered to be a major obstacle to development of
a global ocean observing system. The following summarizes some of the most important NF
– POGO contributions to capacity building in India.
Dr. Trevor Platt provided a training program hosted by NIO in Kochi from November
2004 to March 2005. The title of the program was “Calculation of Regional-Scale Primary
Production for Indian Waters and Applications to Ecosystem Dynamics”. Training was
offered to 24 students from India, Vietnam, Thailand and Tanzania. The training was built
around the use of remotely sensed data on ocean colour as a tool for the analysis of the
marine ecosystem. The course also covered the bio-optical basis of ocean colour, the retrieval
of pigment biomass, the calculation of primary production and the interactions between
physical and biological processes in the ocean.
Dr. Srinivas Kumar, local organizer for the current Training Programme, attended the
2004 – 2005 training program in Kochi offered by Dr. Platt. Dr. Kumar was employed by
INCOIS at the time and subsequently was granted his PhD from Berhampur University with a
thesis entitles “Study of Coastal Dynamics Using Satellite Remote Sensing and GIS
Applications”. Dr. Kumar continues to be employed by INCOIS, steadily rising through
promotion after promotion.
The seventh annual meeting of POGO (i.e., POGO-7) was hosted by INCOIS in
Hyderabad from 18 – 20 January 2006. Dr. Srinivas Kumar, the organizer of the current
Training Programme, was the local organizer for POGO-7. This meeting provided POGO
members a chance to see the fantastic developments in ocean sciences made in India over the
last few years.
Dr. Annesh Lotliker, the co-organizer for the current Training Programme, was a POGOSCOR Fellow in 2011. Dr. Lotliker visited the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and worked in
the laboratory of Drs. Trevor Platt and Shuba Sathyendranath. His project title was
“Modeling Primary Productivity and Inherent Optical Properties”. Dr. Lotliker returned to
INCOIS after his fellowship. He received his PhD in marine science from Goa University in
2009.
In February 11-13 2010, a SAFARI Training Course was offered at NIO/Kochi on the
topic of “Remote Sensing Applications in Fisheries and Ecosystem Analysis”. Many of the
participants of the current training programme participated in the SAFARI programme (e.g.,
Drs. Trevor Platt and Shubha Sathyendranath; Dr. Annesh Lotliker; and Sweety Halarneker).
Mr. Nimitkumar Dilipbhai Joshi, a current employee of INCOIS working in the
identification of potential fishing zones based on remote sensing data (i.e., PFZ advisories)
was able to attend many of the lectures offered during this training program. Mr Joshi was a
participant in the Year 1 NF – POGO CofEOO. Nimit received his undergraduate training in
at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University.
Ms. Gayatri Dudeja was a participant in the Year 3 NF – POGO CofEOO. Gayatri worked
for INCOIS in Hyderabad prior to attending the CofEOO; she is currently pursuing her PhD in
oceanography at the University of Southampton.
This report covers the continuation of NF-POGO training in India, with special emphasis
on activities associated with INCOIS, NIO, and AU from 5 – 26 February 2012. The Centre
of Excellence in Observational Oceanography (CofEOO) in Bermuda, through NF - POGO,
was the main sponsor of the training course.
A total of twelve Lecturers and/or Professors participated in the current Training
Programme. The three visiting professors included Drs. Trevor Platt and Shubha
Sathyendranth, both from PML (UK), and Dr. Bala Krishna Prasad Mathukumalli, currently
at the University of Maryland (USA).
Among the 23 selected trainees, there were five foreign trainees, one each from China,
Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Yemen. The local trainees were from a variety of
laboratories around India, including INCOIS, and NIO.
SCOPE OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMME
Ocean colour remote sensing is one of the newest techniques that can be applied broadly
in global oceanographic studies. Some important applications include forecasting offshore
pelagic fisheries as well as coastal fishery grounds, demarcating coastal erosion, studying the
bio-oceanographic processes in near shore waters, and coastal waters. Over the years, the
field of ecosystem modelling have expanded into the world oceans and, more recently, have
been coupled with remote sensing data to provide synoptic views of coastal and/or near short
and/or offshore ecosystem habitat status; modelling has proven extremely useful both in the
forecast and hindcast modes.
The techniques and protocols involved in remote sensing and ecosystem modelling have
been used effectively in developed countries (e.g., Japan, Korea, USA, UK, Canada), not
only for science and theory, but also for practical applications. These techniques have been
used far less effectively in developing countries, though India is making rapid progress in
becoming a world leader in these areas. One impediment to advancement in these areas is the
shortage of skilled young scientists, capable of conducting these studies; this is true not only
for India, but also for other countries surrounding the Indian Ocean (e.g., China, Indonesia,
Kenya, Tanzania, and Yemen).
In this training course, the goal was to have trainees learn about ocean colour remote
sensing techniques and be exposed to the new ideas and methodologies in ocean colour
science. In addition, trainees were exposed to the basics of ecosystem modelling theory
along with some practical applications. The specific objectives of this training course were
therefore set as follow:
+ To promote Ocean Colour Remote Sensing Science in the Indian Ocean.
+ To enhance the knowledge of oceanic optical properties related to marine environment.
+ To familiarize the trainees with satellite data processing
+ To familiarize trainees with the basics of primary production methodologies
+ To familiarize the trainees with the basics of ecosystem modelling
+ To build the nucleus of a satellite ocean science/ecosystem modeling community in the
Indian Ocean.
TRAINEE BACKGROUND
A total of 63 students applied for the current training program, including 47 from India and
16 from regional countries. The 23 trainees selected all had a very high level of proficiency in
one or more areas covered within the training programme, for instance, many had experience in
remote sensing, others in ecosystem modelling, others had experience in ocean sciences. All
selected trainees were in positions that would be useful to their home country, either
immediately or in the very near future. Because of the high qualifications of the applicants, the
training programme was taught at a very high level, which is very desirable given the large
strides that India and other countries bordering the Indian Ocean have made in the last few years
(i.e., see Section 1).
TRAINING ACTIVITIES
Training consisted of a combination of lectures and practicals. The first seven days was
devoted primarily to lectures on the Basics of Marine Optics and the Basics of Primary
Productivity as determined from remotely sensed satellite data. The corresponding practicals
were on Satellite Sate Processing and Determination and Modelling of Primary Productivity.
The lectures were by Drs. Trevor Platt and Shubha Sathyendranth, with practical sessions led
by Drs. Aneesh Lotliker and Mini Raman.
A list of lecture topics and practical projects is provided as part of Appendix 2. Lectures
on a given topic (e.g., primary productivity; marine optics) started with a very broad and
general introduction, as many of the trainees had little-to-no experience on a given topic
(though they may have had advanced training/study in other subject matter covered during
the Training Programme). The lectures became increasingly more ‘advanced’ as the days
progressed. Many of the trainees with a more advanced level of training in a specific topic
area noted that they appreciated the broad overview, having either never heard all the
‘introductory’ material and/or had never quite put it together the way it was being presented.
In all cases, trainees were encouraged to ask questions as the lectures progressed. This made
the lectures more ‘interactive’. Lecturers also asked trainees questions as the lectures
progressed, again increasing the level of interactivity between trainees and lectures as well as
trainee-to-trainee interactions.
The practicals during the first seven days of the Training Programme were on topics
related specifically to the lecture material. As above, practicals started at a very basic,
rudimentary level, and progressed daily in terms of degree of difficulty. Trainees worked in
pairs, building friendships and potential future working/networking relationships. A list of
practical topics is provided in Appendix 3.
The last four lectures days in Hyderabad/INCOIS covered two topics, numerical
modelling, led by Dr. Swathi, and ecological modelling, led by Dr. Prasad. For both lectures
and practicals, the same general format as described above was followed: material started at a
more general/rudimentary level and progressed to more advanced topics. As above, questions
were posed frequently by the lectures and questions were received from the trainees. The
sessions were highly interactive, with considerable discussion on many different topics. The
students worked in pairs on practicals, again creating friendships that should lead to better
networking capabilities in the future.
Trainees were involved in two other activities during their time at INCOIS/Hyderabad.
First, students were asked to start research/development of their ‘mini-projects’, which would
be reported near the termination of the Training Programme. Trainees worked in pairs on a
project of mutual interest. More details about the mini-projects is provided below.
A second type of activity in Hyderabad included cultural exchange events. The first was a
welcome dinner for all instructors and trainees held at the Aalankrita Resorts. The
landscaping, scenery, and architecture blended to provide a very nice view of ethnic India.
The food was fantastic. The outdoor seating allowed trainees and instructors a chance to get
to know each other in a relaxed setting; everyone had a good time.The second cultural
exchange event started with breakfast, then a trip to the Salar Jung Museum. The family of
Salar Jungs assumed great importance during the 19th and 20th century; five of its family
members served as Prime Ministers to the Nizams, who were the erstwhile rulers of
Hyderabad. The next trip was to the old city of Hyderabad, and its famous Charminar
Monument, built in 1591. Besides the historical significance of the monument, this was a
great area for shopping and wonderful Indian food. The day ended with a trip to The City
Fort of Golkonda. Golkonda, or Golla konda (shepherd's hill), was a city of south-central
India and capital of the ancient Kingdom of Golkonda (c. 1364–1512). Golkonda was
originally built by the Kakatiya dynasty, however the most important builder of Golkonda
was Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah Wali, the fourth Qutub king of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty. It
was a very informative and fun day for the trainees and the instructors who participated; it
was also a strong day of team building, enriching friendship between trainees, and fostering
long-term network capacity in the out years.
For the second component of the Training Programme, training moved from land-locked
Hyderabad to the coastal city of Visakhapatnam, home of the regional NIO and Andhra
University.
After a tour of the Bay of Bengal Centre, trainees were given lectures about sample
collection and analysis in preparation for the field trip aboard the Srinivasa to a site a few
kilometers offshore to man a station for light measurements using a hyperspectral radiometer
(Satlantic Model Hyper OCRII) and take water samples for later analyses. Trainees spent
most of the next three days analysing data and/or receiving hands-on training in sample
analyses, experimental protocols, and/or subsequent data workup. A complete list of
equipment used and experiments performed is found in following sections. Briefly, trainees
performed a P vs I experiment using 13-C as a tracer, determined light absorbing properties
of the particles in the water using an integrating sphere attachment and spectrophotometer,
measured fluorescence properties of particles using a Turner Design Fluorometer, analysed
pigments using an Agilent HPLC, and determined CDOM levels. Following data analyses,
trainees prepared tables/figures, wrote up their results and gave oral presentations.
A second cultural exchange event took place in Visakhapatnam early one morning before
the training sessions began. Trainees visited Simhachalam Temple, located on top of a
nearby mountain. Simhachalan (Simha = Lion; achalan = Hill) is a Hindu temple dedicated to
the incarnation of Vishnu known as Narasimha (the man-lion). The temple is a mix of
Orissan and Dravidian styles of architecture. All who visited held the temple and the deities
inside in respect and admiration.
The final days of the Training Programme involved trainee mini-projects.
Graduation. A closing dinner was hosted by the Organizing Committee on the final day of
the Training Programme. Dinner was held at the Nivedika, a component of Hotel Daspalla.
