Ocean Surface Currents

The ocean surface current from the satellite is estimated by combining geostrophic current from Saral-AltiKa and Ekman current from OSCAT. Total currents have their utility in the studies of ocean dynamics, coastal circulation and upwelling and sinking processes at the sea. Application of the product will also be explored with the studies of dispersion analysis of marine pollutants like algal blooms, coastal sediments, oil spills and debris. These products are available on daily basis for the period of availability of data from both the satellites.

Daily Ocean surface currents data from 2013--2018 is hosted on Bhuvan-Ocean Surface Currents .
