SeaZone to launch GIS-ready marine data software

22 January 2009, 12:05pm

Ocean Business 2009 will see the launch of an innovative software solution designed to greatly simplify the management of marine geographic information.

SeaZone GeoTemporal manages tide, current and wave datasets captured from Acoustic Doppler Profilers, together with other oceanographic, hydrographic and meteorological information such as water quality and wind speed data. The software allows the import of custom datasets and links to GIS and external databases, bringing a wide variety of data together for further analysis and improved reporting and decision making.

Many organisations face the challenges of capturing, using and managing complex survey and environmental monitoring data, often relying on high end programming expertise and specialist software, which can be costly and inflexible.

SeaZone’s GeoTemporal software provides marine surveyors, engineers, data managers and consultants with a new generation of tools.

Through an easy to use interface, users can import, quality control, analyse and present data from multiple sources. Additional capabilities allow the export of data in open formats for further use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other applications such as environmental modelling.

SeaZone GeoTemporal replaces SeaZone’s ADCP Processing Suite, offering greater flexibility, faster processing power and improved levels of interoperability and project efficiencies.

Ocean Business is a hands-on ocean technology exhibition incorporating classroom and on-water demonstrations and training sessions. It takes place at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK, 31 March – 02 April 2009. SeaZone are on Stand Number U10.
