The system comprises:

  • Oceanographic data acquisition buoys
  • Sensors measuring various parameters
  • Real-time, two-way communication systems
  • Data processing and data source integration
  • Databases & models
The OCEANOR Seawatch Buoys provide data to:
  • Monitor metocean conditions
  • Detect tsunamis
  • Monitor algae blooms
  • Improve coastal zone management
  • Assist with oil spill contingency planning and forecasting
  • Provide essential information for environmental monitoring

OCEANOR Seawatch around the world

OCEANOR Seawatch buoy systems have been installed in numerous countries around the world. They include advanced buoys that operate in remote oceanic locations as well as in the coastal zones providing continuous series of environmental data in near real-time. The data are utilized in various monitoring and forecasting applications and in basic scientific research.

 





These systems have formed part of regional networks of the Global Ocean Observation System (GOOS) for many years. This involvement was strengthened, when the operators and owners of these Seawatch systems convened to form the Seawatch Partnership forum.
The operators of Seawatch technology stem from institutions and organizations from more than 10 different countries responsible for national ocean observing and forecasting systems. They include marine research institutes with national responsibilities within their fields, and institutions that represent marine infrastructure sectors in their countries.
