JGOFS-India CD contains information pertaining to the JGOFS-India programme. This programme was sponsored by the Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi and was multidisciplinary approach jointly conducted by four national agencies: National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), National Chemical Laboratory(NCL) and Centre for mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulations (C-MMACS). The field campaign in the eastern Arabian Sea was conducted between 1992-97 in 7 cruises with ORV Sagar kanya as the platform. ( Available free on request )

NIO-Hydro CD developed by IODC, contains 25291 historical hydrographic profiles collected during 1906 to 1996 temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia, silicate, pH and alkalinity in the Indian Ocean. A part of the data of 9270 profiles were collected by the Institutes onboard the research vessels R.V. Gaveshani and ORV Sagarkanya during 1976 to 1996 and 16021 profiles were taken from World Data Centre CD collected during 1906 – 96. Software with graphics was developed and interfaced with the CD databases for selection, Visualization and retrieval of data. Four Hundred copies of the CD were prepared. ( Available on payment of Rs. 1000 / US $ 250 )

NIO-BIO-CD was developed by IODC, contains 3956 historical biological profiles collected in 1951 to 1996 on primary productivity, Chlorophyll-a, zooplankton biomass, zoo-benthos biomass & density and microbiological bacterial analysis in the Indian Ocean. A part of the data of 1194 profiles were collected by the institute on board the research vessels INS Darshak, R.V. Gaveshani and ORV Sagar Kanya during 1974 to 1996 and 2762 profiles were taken from the IOC data report (Published in 1974) having the biological data sets collected by many countries in Indian Ocean since 1951.( Available on payment of Rs. 1000 / US $ 250 )

COMAPS–CD was Developed COMAPS biogeochemical coastal data/information on request from DOD for 36 oceanographic parameters. ( The owner of this dataset/data CD: Director, ICMAM(Ministry Of Earth Sciences),Chennai).

WAVE-CD was developed for wave height and period data set from wave borne recorder since 1976.It has been interfaced with the user friendly software for the selection retrieval and visualization of wave parameters observed and computed. ( Restricted )
