The ‘NICES Programme’ likely refers to the National Information System for Climate and Environment Studies, which is primarily operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
ISRO utilizes its earth observation capabilities and data processing infrastructure for climate and environmental monitoring through initiatives like NICES.
ISRO’s satellite systems are crucial for gathering data on atmospheric composition, land use, water resources, biodiversity, and other environmental parameters essential for climate studies and environmental monitoring. The NICES programme facilitates the use of this data for research and applications.
