INCOIS to launch three new ocean information services as part of its foundation day celebrations

Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) will be launching three new ocean information services: JellyAIIP, SAMUDRA 2.0 Mobile App, and SIVAS along with a new logo during the foundation day celebrations at its campus here on Monday.

JellyAIIP (Jellyfish Aggregation Information Interactive Portal) is a national web-based platform for reporting and visualising jellyfish aggregation, swarming, and stranding events along the Indian coast, with geospatial mapping, hotspot analysis, and multilingual first-aid guidance.

SAMUDRA 2.0 Mobile App is an upgraded multilingual advisory platform delivering ocean information and early warnings to fishermen and maritime users, with expanded services including potential fishing zone, Tuna advisories, and small vessel alerts, supported by improved map-based features.

SIVAS – Swell-Surge Inundation Vulnerability Advisory System, is a coastal inundation early warning service designed to provide advance alerts on swell-surge flooding events, currently operational for the Kerala coast, with multilingual forecast bulletins.

A Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) India annual science review meeting will also be conducted alongside the celebrations with participation of 23 delegates from the United Kingdom, around 80 Indian delegates, and several online participants.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)’s director V. Narayanan and Space Application Centre Director Nilesh M. Desai will be among the top scientists participating in the programme, said a press release by INCOIS director T.M. Balakrishnan Nair.
