EMODnet is a ‘comprehensive in situ marine data service in Europe, offering a wealth of in water Ocean observations, data and data products, spanning the coast and oceans’. This conference an important event for those of us involved in marine data, ocean […]

Enhancing Pilot Safety with real-time wave data

When pilots from Peel Ports Group head out into the Irish Sea to board incoming vessels, timing is everything. The sea state can shift quickly, and rough waves can make pilot transfers not just difficult, but dangerous. A Cefas buoy already stationed near a Peel Ports boarding point was collecting valuable wave data — but that information wasn’t easily accessible […]

How does GNSS levelling improve tide gauge accuracy?

When we talk about sea level rise, most people picture water creeping higher along our coasts. But there’s another factor at play that’s less obvious — the ground itself can move too. That’s where GNSS levelling (Global Navigation Satellite System) comes in. It’s helping scientists, marine operators and engineers make environmental data, such as […]
