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:

iPhone Apps That Benefit Business

iPhone has been at the forefront of what now can only be termed as the mobile app revolution. There are Apps available for every phone, and the iPhone not surprisingly, has hundreds of applications. These apps range from games and entertainment to lifestyle and business.

Today, iPhone users can vouch for the fact that these apps are not mere distractions but have a positive impact on their lives. There are a number of iphone business apps and many swear by the benefits of these apps on their business.

Apps that can come in handy for a small business include PayPal, to facilitate quick financial transactions right from your mobile; and Currency Convertor, allowing users to change between currencies quickly and without any hassle.

Other useful apps include travel apps which can prove helpful and practical to everybody. Whether it is someone travelling on business or pleasure, apps that give localised travel information, or do quick language translation can come in handy for all.

Today, mobile advertising opportunities have increased exponentially due to the advent of apps. Mobile phone advertising is no longer limited to SMS and MMS marketing. For example, iPhone Business Apps can have embedded adverts; video applications can have small text ads or video ads. Many free apps are a mixture of adverts and gaming.

• 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.
