Types of marine instrumentation; in-situ and remote sensing instruments; operating platforms-fixed, ship, platform and buoy based; output formats; telemetry.
Measurement of temperature, salinity, sound velocity, wave height, wave period, tidal height, tidal period and ocean depth etc.
Types of tide gauges: principles, operation and applications.
Wave radars, rain gauge, seabed observatories.
Types of buoys; principles, application and operations for measurement of wind,
temperature, current, wave height and direction and other environmental sensors Satellite telemetry systems.
