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:

Some Free iPhone Applications

According to the iPhone advertisement, there is an app for just about everything! One cannot deny this as iPhone has developed a number of apps on topics ranging from health and lifestyle to education, travel and money.

The good news is that not all iphone applications have to be bought. Some apps are available for free download. Read on to find out more about some free iPhone apps that can come in handy to everyone.

Productivity tools can be used by everyone to organise and better their life. A good free iPhone productivity app is PageOnce Personal Assistant. This app integrates all your online accounts such as email, MySpace, online bank account etc. into a single platform that is easy to browse.

A free yellow Pages application puts searchable yellow pages listings onto your iPhone applications list. It allows users to conduct narrow and specific searches. Obviously, this is a localised application, which means it depends on your current location. This app also provides a list of upcoming events, concerts and happenings, making it even more useful to have, unless one is fond of carrying the yellow pages book around with them at all times!

Wouldn’t it be nice, if one could save long online articles and read them at leisure later, especially when one is not connected and cannot access the web? Well there is an app for that. It allows you to save data and read it on the iPhone at a later time of your convenience. There are several free apps for the iPhone, and these are just a few interesting free apps available.

• 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.
