  • REAL-TIME METOCEAN SENSOR ARRAYS
    Publication number: 20200209429
    Abstract: A real-time metocean sensor array system may include a one or more floating instruments each including geolocation capabilities and connected to a satellite communication network. In some examples, the floating instruments may further include an omnidirectional hydrophone. Motion and acoustical data gathered by the instruments may be converted by onboard processing logic into wave, current, and/or wind-related observations that may be communicated in real time and analyzed via a cloud-based system.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 25, 2019
    Publication date: July 2, 2020
    Applicant: Sofar Ocean Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Anke PIERIK, Andrew Wheeler GANS, Tim JANSSEN, Evan SHAPIRO, Pieter Bart SMIT
