OceanSync Inc.

To enable the efficient exchange of weather observations, OceanSync has developed a ship-based automated weather station. Weather data, like wind, pressure, temperature and humidity, are transmitted in real time from any location on earth. The AWS is currently deployed collecting data on a growing network of cooperative and collaborative vessels of all sizes. While the observations from a single vessel are valuable, the aggregated observations from multiple vessels will provide game-changing insights into weather patterns and our climate.
