Metocean data collection
– Data from Global Metocean Hindcast Databases
– Satellite Data
– Metocean measurement campaign strategy design and specifications
– Client’s survey data validation
Metocean consultancy is customized on Clients needs applying state-of-the-art models and by means of a deep understanding of the involved physical processes. Attitude to research and development of new tools results essential to properly support design of coastal/offshore facilities and planning of safe and efficient marine operations.
Main provided activities are listed here below:
– Data from Global Metocean Hindcast Databases
– Satellite Data
– Metocean measurement campaign strategy design and specifications
– Client’s survey data validation
Analysis of wind, wave, water level and current data on a local or regional scale are provided to support the Clients on selecting the best site for their projects/operations.
Both extreme and operational (i.e. downtime) conditions are investigated in order to select the best location and to assess whether the project is feasible.
Metocean data are gathered from qualified databases and statistically analysed.
Continuous support to the Client is provided by means of recommendations for study refinements and/or measurements to be planned during the next project phases.
