Founded in 2001 by PhD oceanographers, SAT-OCEAN has built its know-how on a strong scientific background. Since day one, satellite experts, physical oceanographers and weather specialists have been developing state of the art current, wind and wave hindcasting and forecasting systems, yielding the foundations of the services provided today.
Satellite data processing has always been the purpose of many efforts within our R&D department. As modeling of ocean currents is a very tricky playground, we secure the quality of the satellite data that we drive our models with. Sticking to ground truth is our only approach, leading to numerous comparison works between our historical & forecast deliverables and simultaneous on site measurements (ADCP, current meters, wave buoys or anemometers).
To deliver all of the metocean data we produce, we have designed in-house specific products dedicated to the offshore and marine industries. Our turn-key solutions require no on-site or on-board installation, are “software-free” and fully web-delivered.
Today, our wide range of services covers the needs from early stage studies to operational works on-site and marine transits. Our clients benefit 24/7 and anywhere in the world from proven and efficient services to increase safety at sea, improve performance and help optimizing financial invests.
