Intelligent Platform To Handle All Spatial Data Types

In Marinexplore, data are related to a specific location, depth and time.
Weaving data together from multiple sources greatly increases the value of individual measurements, further analysis, application outputs and forecasts.

Data Sources Include

  • GHRSST data product (L4)
  • NASA Aquarius satellite (L3)
  • NOAA NCEP (Wave Watch)
  • NOAA NCDC (Sea Winds)
  • NOAA ASCAT (Ekman currents)
  • NOAA AOML (Geostrophic currents)
  • NOAA in-situ and met-ocean platforms
  • Argo deep ocean floats
  • GTS buoys
  • Rutgers gliders
  • Liquid Robotics Wave Gliders (PacX experiment)
  • Ships of Oppurtunity Program
  • Global Carbon Cycle Program

In Summary

  • in-situ point measurements
  • Gridded data products
  • 10+ platform types (see below)
  • 40+ parameters
