Waves Monitoring & Analysis

Waves Monitoring is a crucial part of Metocean Services, providing essential data on ocean wave conditions for marine navigation, offshore operations, and coastal engineering. Monitoring wave height, period, and direction helps assess the impact of storms, climate change, and ocean energy potential.

At GISMappers, we utilize satellite remote sensing, wave buoys, radar systems, and numerical models to measure and predict wave characteristics, ensuring accurate and real-time oceanographic insights.

Key Features & Benefits:

1. Real-Time Wave Measurement

Uses satellites, wave buoys, and radar to track wave conditions.
Provides accurate and continuous data for marine operations.

2. Wave Forecasting & Modeling

Applies numerical models to predict wave heights and storm surges.
Supports offshore energy projects and coastal protection plans.

3. Impact Assessment on Coastal Infrastructure

Analyzes wave action on ports, harbors, and breakwaters.
Reduces risks of coastal erosion and flooding.

4. Marine Navigation & Safety

Provides wave height and direction data for safe vessel navigation.
Helps mitigate hazards for fishing, shipping, and offshore industries.

5. Climate Change & Ocean Variability Studies

Assesses long-term wave pattern changes due to climate variability.
Supports climate adaptation and coastal resilience strategies.

6. Renewable Ocean Energy Potential

Evaluates wave energy resources for sustainable power generation.
Supports the development of wave farms and offshore wind energy projects.
