OCENS MetMapper transforms weather maps, satellite
images, and ocean charts into dynamic components of your
at-sea decision-making tool box.
Weather maps, ocean charts and satellite images
represent a unique integration of computer intelligence and human
experience. Thanks in large part to OCENS WeatherNet and GRIB
Explorer the popularity of Gridded Binary (i.e.
GRIB) products has grown in recent years. As this has happened, the
special insights offered by classical weather and ocean charts and
the better than birds-eye view of weather events afforded by
near-real time satellite images have been neglected. By unlocking
the multiple layers of information contained in these unique
products, OCENS MetMapper positions them in their rightful place as
fundamental components of next-generation weather analysis.
