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:

Look for the Best Broadband Deals

It is necessary to opt for a broadband deal which can serve all of your required purposes. A certain amount of research needs to be done in order to derive knowledge about the various broadband deals that are readily available. Some people can find it difficult to find the best broadband deals because they might not be acquainted with all of the technical terms that are associated with these kinds of services.

It is imperative to compare all of the broadband deals so that you can find a plan in accordance to your budget. Coverage is a factor that should be considered before choosing a broadband deal. You should verify with the service provider about the areas where the broadband coverage is available so that you can ensure whether you will enjoy uninterrupted services or not. Some of the broadband companies do not provide services in all the areas, and hence it becomes necessary to check before hand whether services are available in your area.

The amount of data that is allowed for usage in broadband plans should also be compared, so that you can decipher whether the data usage amount will be sufficient for your needs or not.

The cost of broadband plans mainly depends on the data usage amount. Most broadband providers charge an additional amount if you exceed the usage limit. Therefore you need to check all the numbers related to data usage before selecting a broadband plan.

Prepaid broadband plans are also available, wherein one can pay as per their usage. These plans can turn out to be quite economical because one can keep a check on the daily usage. Budget often acts as a deciding factor when it comes to the best broadband deals. The speed of the broadband service also plays an important role, because slow internet speed will slow down the pace of your work. At times slow speed broadband plans are cheaper and if speed is not your primary criteria, then such plans can suit your requirements. The best broadband deals can be attained with appropriate research of the broadband services that are present in the market.

  • 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.

waves

Several satellites measure the height of waves at the sea surface. We archive these and windspeed measurements in the database. This then used to provide high quality marine statistics and climatology.


Dockwise towing

Transporting a 33000 ton semi-submersible safely from Canada to Brazil depends critically on making the best use of whatever information is available on sea-state. We worked closely with DockTell on the project.


Sea State Alarm

The Sea State Alarm service transmits reports to ships comparing actual sea state along the satellite tracks with the forecast.
