Meet the Offshore Weather Station PTM
Obscape’s Offshore Weather Station PTM supplies you with real-time weather data and was designed for continuous deployment in harsh climates of open water environments.
The Offshore Weather Station provides real-time, site-specific, offshore weather information. Built-in solar panels and a 4G connection ( optional satellite) to guarantee consistently reliable monitoring from any marine environment.
No moving parts and proven IPX7-rated construction enable reliable operation even in harsh sea conditions. The 220WX-IPX7 calculates theoretical wind speed and direction based upon apparent wind, plus buoy speed and heading.
Weather impacts every aspect of operations on offshore platforms, ships, and in ports. Rapid changes in weather and sea conditions make monitoring of both meteorological and oceanographic parameters a critical part of ensuring safety, while also maintaining operational efficiency.
From mounting on buoys, USVs, and ASVs or racing and cruising sailboats to yachting and commercial fishing vessels, everything starts with a thorough understanding of the local weather. Therefore, Obscape’s Offshore Weather Station should be a standard asset of your environmental monitoring setup. It provides a wide range of weather parameters, including air temperature and pressure, wind speed and direction.
