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:

Mobile Apps Help With Dating!

Mobile phone apps have revolutionised the way people live. To think of Smartphones and their apps as a mere pastime or preoccupation of the young is a grave mistake. Mobile networking is slowly becoming as accessible and ubiquitous as the internet, and apps are available on a variety of subjects dealing with different areas of life.

Apps include those on health, safety and fitness, diet and nutrition, design and DIY, art, travel, you name it, they have it! Recently, apps like isocialconnect which can be found on mobile phones, provide targeted and personalised matchmaking and dating features.

Mobile apps have changed the role of mobile phones from simple portable devices used to make calls, to clever hand held devices capable of complex functions.

Smartphones today can give users advice on how to design their home, where to travel to, how to learn different languages and even on finding love!This means that iSocialConnect.com really can help you with dating.

Smartphones are smart to begin with, but one can download and use apps which suit their needs in order to get the most from their phone.

The iPhone might have well started it, but Currently Blackberry, Apple iPhone and the Google Android seem to be at the forefront of the app revolution. New apps are being developed and marketed every day. Some of these can be downloaded for free, but many are paid apps.

• 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.
