WaveSentry-an information tool for managing risk of marine operations in adverse sea states

WaveSentry -开发一种新的信息和预测工具，用于管理不利海况下海上作业的风险（部分由技术战略委员会资助）。出于经济和安全的考虑，海上作业依赖于高质量的海况信息（浪高、周期、方向、陡度）。目前，可用的信息是基于大气和海洋模式，新一代的综合输出正在可用。WaveSentry的目标是开发新的数据源，包括新的卫星对波浪陡度的远程测量，以及实时浮标和船舶数据，以评估这种集合预报。该项目将开发和应用技术，以大大加强各种数据源的整合，以便向多个最终用户市场提供改进的不利海况数据。一个示范系统将在英吉利海峡运行，作为在全球任何地方部署的一个例子。

WaveSentry - Developing a new information and forecasting tool for managing the risks of marine operations in adverse sea states (part funded by the Technology Strategy Board).Marine operations are dependent on high quality information on sea-state (wave height, period, direction, steepness) for reasons of economics and safety. At present, available information is based on atmospheric and ocean models with a new generation of ensemble outputs becoming available. WaveSentry aims to exploit new data sources, including novel satellite remote measurements of wave steepness as well as real-time buoy and ship data, in order to evaluate such ensemble forecasts.The project will develop and apply techniques to substantially enhance the integration of diverse data sources in order to offer improved adverse sea-state data to multiple end-user markets. A demonstration system will operate in the English Channel as an example of a potential deployment anywhere across the globe.
