Ground-truth ocean physics.
We partner with leading climate scientists, national weather agencies, and academic institutions to replace legacy satellite models with direct, real-time physical measurements from the open sea.
Closing the data gaps.
Our global sensor grid provides high-density physical observations directly to international researchers, validating climate models and improving extreme weather prediction models.
