“…Based on the altitude of the satellite, systems are categorized as the GEO, Geostationary Earth Orbit; MEO, Mid altitude Earth Orbit; and the LEO, Low Earth Orbit. Globally, buoy user communities widely use three satellite communication systems i.e., INMARSAT (GEO), ARGOS, and IRIDIUM (LEO) (Vengatesan et al, 2013) The data transmission through the LEO satellites require less energy compared to the energy required for transmission through the GEO satellites, as they are positioned closer to the Earth (780 km). GPRS communication is used for data transmissions when the buoy is deployed in a coastal area within the GSM coverage zone.…”

Real-time spatio-temporal meteorological and oceanographic data, from the Ocean moored observatories, are essential for the precise forecast of the ocean state, climate variability studies and reliable weather prediction. Precise spatio-temporal measurement of subsurface parameters such as temperature, salinity and current are essential to understand the intra-seasonal and inter-annual evolution of monsoons and tropical cyclones. To cater to this time-critical information, moored observatories have to continuously be operational in the harsh marine environment to measure these essential ocean variables. However, bio-fouling and corrosion limits the life time and accuracy of the highly precise measuring instruments. Thus, best practices in these moored observations are essential for long term accurate and cost-effective ocean observation. The Indian moored buoy network which has been operational since 1997, has been providing quality data over the past decade. This paper describes the best operational practices and quality control processes followed in the Indian moored buoy system design, sensor calibration, testing, integration, deployment, retrieval, and data quality control over the past two decades, which has helped to achieve an average meteorological data return of 90%.

“…The OMNI buoys measure the EOVs and transmits the information in GTS format, in real time through satellites (Vengatesan et al, 2013). Currently, the moored buoys network has 19 moored observatories, four of which are deployed in coastal regions.…”
