Scientific Consultancy

Modelling expertise, analysis & advice.

 

Use our experienced scientific team to gain a thorough understanding of the meteorological and oceanographic processes that influence your site.

We use state-of-the-art numerical models to simulate coastal, oceanographic and atmospheric processes, applying the very latest tools and analysis techniques to provide accurate, high-resolution weather data for any location on Earth.

MetOcean Solutions expertise

Our team includes a multidisciplinary group of PhD scientists and technical experts.

We run models in-house and deliver high quality environmental data and expert interpretation to meet the rigorous requirements of the offshore and maritime industries as well as regulatory and defence agencies.

Our staff have vast experience leading oceanography projects all over the world and thousands of hours of experience working at sea. As a team, we understand the ocean.

 

We can assist you with:

 

Data collection

The MetOcean Solutions science team has many years of experience with the collection and processing of oceanographic, meteorological and geophysical data, from environments ranging from inside the surf zone to the edge of the continental shelf. Our expertise includes large-scale data collection programmes for offshore locations, as well as high energy coastal situations.

 

Numerical modelling

Our team of expert scientists have vast experience modelling waves, tides, currents, dispersion and sediment transport. We use state-of-the-art numerical models to simulate coastal, oceanographic and atmospheric processes, including:

  • 2D and 3D hydrodynamic solutions.

  • Wave generation, propagation, and transformation.

  • Dispersion and transport of sediments, pollutants and objects.

  • Atmospheric processes.

  • Coastal morphology evolution.

 
 

Equipment hire

MetOcean Solutions manages a pool of specialised oceanographic equipment that is available for third-party hire. We can help you find the right equipment for your project.

 

Weather analysis

We offer Sequenced Downtime Analysis, a powerful analytical tool which uses hindcast data to examine operability and weather downtime on complex offshore projects.

 

Targeted data analyses

Our metocean consultants can provide a wide range of analytical processing techniques including:

  • Time domain and zero-down-crossing analyses.

  • Spectral and frequency domain analyses.

  • Wavelet analyses.

  • Persistence exceedance/non-exceedance matrices.

  • Joint probability distributions.

  • Return period values and extrema.

  • Tidal analysis and predictions.
