Satellite modems relay readings and positions from remote instruments to data platforms. Environmental researchers review field measurements alongside selected ocean, weather or Earth imagery inputs for their study.
Remote instrument communications bring field measurements into the systems environmental researchers use for their studies. CLS connects oceanographic, meteorological, hydrological and glaciological platforms through Argos satellite services. The arrangement combines the selected instruments, communications modems and data service for locations at sea or in isolated land areas.
Argos modems transmit measurements and location data from buoys or stations. Satellite positioning also supports locating and retrieving instruments, with Doppler positioning and a goniometer, a direction-finding receiver, available for suitable tasks. Connected instruments supply the actual measurement values. Data services add selected ocean, atmosphere or Earth imagery inputs, including water-body information and radar, optical or altimetry datasets.
Tailored dashboards bring sensor values and metadata from the connected platforms into one view. Researchers receive field data for analysis and selected model inputs, such as ocean drift or ice forecasting. Expert teams help select the platform and environmental information relevant to the project. The resulting service links local measurements with geographical context, giving the research team a consistent route for collecting and viewing records from remote instruments.
