Environmental Conditions

OceanWise > Monitoring Overview > Environmental Conditions
Monitoring and measuring marine and coastal environmental conditions

Whatever the environmental condition you would like to monitor or measure, we can help, irrespective of the stage – be it conceptual design, installation or ongoing servicing and maintenance.

Our expertise covers:

  • Cover a wide variety of environmental conditions
  • Able to deliver our expertise as part of a collaboration or stand-alone
  • Experienced with all types of marine and coastal locations
  • Any project undertaken – from 1 sensor in one location, or a whole range of sensors or stations in a wide variety of locations
  • Good ‘data management’ practices built-in
  • Experienced problem solvers
Common Environmental Conditions:


Tides, Weather and Flooding

Tides –Tidal data including real-time tide levels, tide predictions and tidal surge.

Weather – can include wind, precipitation, temperature, visibility, solar radiation or irradiance, humidity, dew point etc.

Common users: Marine / coastal operators such as ports, harbours, offshore renewables, jetty or berthing operators, dredgers, marine pilots etc.

Project Examples: ABP Wales, Peel Ports, Cowes Harbour, Harwich Haven, Network Rail.



Water Quality and Turbidity

Water Quality – Data on the condition of the water including, chemical, physical and biological elements. Elements commonly measured include dissolved oxygen, bacteria, salt levels and turbidity (see below).

Turbidity – Data on the amount of particles within a water sample which impact how light is absorbed and scattered. The particles can be biological, chemical or physical.

Read our full article on Turbidity (includes a recent project example).



Air Quality

Air Quality – Data on key pollutants within the air including Particulate Matter, Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Ammonia, Volatile Organic Compounds and Green House Gases.

Air quality is an increasingly important environmental concern and gathering and submitting evidence-based emission data is now a legal requirement for many marine and coastal operators.

Currents and Acoustic profilers

Currents – Data which measures the movement of water from one location to another.

Acoustic Profiler – Often called Acoustic Doppler Profilers or ADCP, produces data on how fast water is moving across a water column using sound waves which ricochet off particles suspended in the moving water and reflect back to the instrument.

Common users: Marine / coastal operators such as ports, harbours, offshore renewables, jetty or berthing operators, dredgers, marine pilots etc.

Project Example: Port of Dover



Waves

Waves – Data includes wave direction, wave height, spectral energy, time series, wave period and swell.

Common Users – Data Analysts, Marine operators, Metocean engineers, Weather forecasters, Marine Pilots, Researchers, Scientists and Students.

Project Example: CCO data on Solent, Itabo Coal Terminal, Port of Dover.


Each project is different. We combine our knowledge of working with different sensors and sensor manufacturers, and our experience of numerous marine monitoring projects globally, to design and build the most appropriate solution for your situation and environment.

Peel Ports

OceanWise listened and provided a unique approach to our needs. Their system was easy to install but overall it was OceanWise’s flexibility and knowledge that most impressed – they gave us a fully supported system very quickly.

Russell Bird - Group Hydrography & Dredging Manager

Hydrosphere UK

The buoy is in a challenging position so far away from land....Port-Log is clearly very sensitive, if it’s already picked up a break in just 20 minutes of outage time…impressive

Matt Atkins - Hydrosphere UK - Technical Sales Area Manager - South

Cowes Harbour Commission

With OceanWise’s help we sorted everything out and have ended up in a good place with reliability issues sorted as a bonus

Ed Walker - Harbour Master / Pilot
