Metocean Services

Metocean services play a crucial role in understanding and predicting the interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean. By leveraging satellite-derived Earth intelligence, Metocean services provide critical data for maritime industries, climate research, disaster preparedness, and environmental monitoring. This field encompasses meteorology (weather-related phenomena) and oceanography (oceanic physical conditions) to support offshore operations, coastal planning, and global environmental assessments.

Traditional oceanographic data collection methods, such as buoys, ships, and floating sensors, provide valuable but localized and intermittent readings. Satellite remote sensing enhances this by offering continuous, real-time, and large-scale observations of oceanic and atmospheric conditions.
