Dr. Satheesh Chandra Shenoi presently posted as Director, Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), Hyderabad has been given extension of the additional charge of the post of Director, National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), Chennai  for a further period of 06 months w.e.f. 31.01.2017.

He played a lead role in Department of Science & Technologies (Govt. of India) Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX), which changed our traditional view from a passive role for the ocean in monsoonal processes to an active role in the monsoonal air-sea coupling.

He showed that the regional optimization of the algorithm coefficients could improve the estimation of Sea Surface Temperature, over the Indian Ocean, using satellite based infrared sensors by 50%.

After the tsunami struck the Indian coast in 2004, he coordinated the research that described quantitatively the tsunami off the Indian coast and enabled an improved estimate of the extent of the tsunami source region.

He was a senior member of the group that carried out hydrographic observations during 1987-1994 to map the seasonal cycle of circulation off the Indian coast. This work facilitated the development of a theoretical framework to explain the seasonal cycle. He also made limited current-meter observations to provide a quantitative description of coastal currents. Prior to joining INCOIS, he was leading a major programme making direct current measurements off the Indian coast to enable a quantitative description of the variability within a season and across years, marking a paradigm shift in our knowledge of the seas around India.

Considering his contributions to the understanding of the physical oceanography of the waters around India, in 2007, he was elected as Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences. He has authored/co-authored more than 70 research papers in journals of international repute. His professional Interests include Observational oceanography, ocean currents, impact of oceans on monsoons and satellite oceanography. Currently, he is a recognised Ph. D. guide at Goa University.

Dr. Satheesh Chandra Shenoi  Born on 30th May 1958, at Thuravoor in Chertala Taluka of Kerala, Dr. Shenoi completed schooling from the local schools. Graduated in 1978 with Physics major from NSS College, Chertala affiliated to University of Kerala. M.Sc. in Physical Oceanography from School of Marine Sciences, Cochin University of Science & Technology, Kochi (1980). Ph.D. also from Cochin University of Science & Technology, Kochi (1984). Has more than 28 years of research experience in Physical Oceanography.

  1. Dear Dr Shenoi,

    I understand you have contacted my colleagues at Engtek Pte Ltd in Singapore re: procurement of deep submersible thrusters for your upcoming submersible project.
    They in turn came to us, as we specialize in submersible manufacture & they no longer have the design facility for such projects.
    Our background is in ROV & Manned submersible & associated ancillary systems manufacture. Our projects include manufacturing for the Royal Thai Navy, Rolls Royce & Boeing.
    If you would like us to quote on your thruster requirement & or any other component systems, please feel free to contact me using mike@sde-asia.com . You can check out our web site at http://www.sde-aia.com for more details of what we do.
    We are a British owned & operated company based in Singapore & Thailand.
    I have seen your RFQ specification and have identified several points which I feel ought to be discussed further.

    I look forward to your reply

    Best Rgds
