About
A. M. Saifee is a key figure in satellite oceanography, specializing in the vicarious calibration and validation of ocean color sensors. His most notable contribution is the development and operationalization of a dedicated Ocean CAL-VAL site at Kavaratti in Lakshadweep, designed to support India's Ocean Color Monitor (OCM-2). This pioneering work, detailed in his highly cited 2013 paper, involved the deployment of a sophisticated pair of MET and OPTICAL buoys in a deep ocean Case-I water site. These fully automated systems, equipped with hyperspectral radiometers, fluorometers, and meteorological sensors, enable preprogrammed in situ data collection and real-time transmission. By establishing this critical infrastructure, Saifee has provided the scientific community with a robust, long-term reference site for ensuring the accuracy of satellite-derived geophysical products. His efforts have directly enhanced the reliability of global ocean color data, supporting vital research in marine biology, climate change, and coastal management.
