Satellite Observing Systems

Satellite observing systems are unrivalled in expertise in all aspects of satellite remote sensing of the marine environment. Serving the public and private sector organisations by providing:

How to Choose the Correct System Phones

If you are starting up a new business, whether at home or in a business premises, then it is essential that you get a telephone system. Without a telephone system it will be very difficult to attract customers, let alone allow them to be able to contact you!

Telephone systems come in a variety of forms. You can have small packages that are best suited to small businesses to large set-ups for multi-international corporations. There are many providers of telephone systems and you can get several competitive quotes very easily.

As part of the package it is important to ensure that you choose the right system phones. The systems phones should be reliable and have a variety of functions that will help your chosen phone system (and office) run efficiently and smoothly.

When checking out the models and packages on offer, ensure that the telecom system you are interested in has the right number of phones. The last thing you want is to have a shortage of phones for customers to contact you on, particularly if your business is growing fast.

The best way to source the system phones that will be most beneficial to your company is to scour the internet. There are many companies who have their products and packages on display on their own websites. You can usually request a free quote online too, which makes it quicker to find the best deal from the systems on offer.

• Consultancy on the applications and exploitation of marine remote sensing,
• High quality marine statistics and climatology,
• Real-time sea-state monitoring from space delivered to ships at sea,
• Training programmes world-wide.

Some of the problem areas recently tackled by us including ongoing programmes, are:

• Calibration of radar altimeters on the ERS-1, ERS-2 and ENVISAT satellites,
• Statistical data on the occurrence of the highest wave at an offshore site or along a shipping route anywhere in the world,
• The prevalence of oil slicks in summer off a tourist beach in the mediterranean,
• Seasonal cycles in the vertical migration of nutrients along a coastline, and their dependence on marine weather patterns,
• A model of sea level changes around Britain's coastline over the last decade,
• The design of an easy-access coastal information system containing data derived from the satellite record,
• Accessibility of environmental information of coastal zones by NATO navies,
• Trends in global climate change revealed in the middle of the Atlantic by satellite observations repeated over a decade.

The latest venture is the design of a system of dedicated microsats that will deliver observations of storm location and intensity in 'real-time' to forecasting centres and ships at sea.

We have longer experience in the field of creating useful marine products from raw satellite data than any company in Europe, and this is reflected in the number of Training Workshops it has been asked to organise around the world.

• We are completely current with the programmes and aspirations of all the major space agencies and we are a leading promoter of 'real-time' constellations.
  
  
• No organisation, whose interest lies in the sea, can afford to remain ignorant of the increasingly relevant role of satellite surveillance to its operations.
