The MetOcean team has many years of experience in collecting and processing oceanographic and geophysical data – extending from the surf zone to the edge of the continental shelf.

Our expertise includes large scale offshore data collection programs, as well as high energy coastal situations.

We measure:

• Waves using waverider buoys, puv meters, ultra-sound, radar and pressure sensors
• Currents using ADP, ADCP, single point meters, near bed and near surface probes
• Sediment transport with tracer, traps and OBS
• Seabed characteristics with sidescan sonar, single and multibeam survey, surficial grab and towed sampling, subsurface coring, dropped and towed video imagery
• Benthic ecology with dropped video, grab sampling, diver surveys
• Winds using multilevel sensors on buoys, satellite scatterometers, met stations

MetOcean Solutions have the expertise to provide the right kind of data analysis for your project. Some of the standard analysis outputs we produce for waves, winds and currents are:

• Time domain and zero-down-crossing analyses
• Spectral and frequency domain analyses
• Wavelet analyses
• Persistence exceedence and non-exceedence matrices
• Joint probability distributions
• Return period values and extrema
• Tidal analysis and predictions
