ONC’s physical infrastructure is paired with our digital infrastructure to enable real-time ocean observation, data collection, and communications. This coast-to-coast-to-coast ocean observing network includes cabled, autonomous and mobile instruments located in deep-sea, coastal and land-based locations.
Réseaux câblés
Fibre-optic cable provides power and connectivity to subsea instruments, enabling real-time continuous, long time series data collection.
Réseaux mobiles
Gathering data from moorings, ferries, drifters, gliders, remotely operated vehicles, and ships.
Radar océanographique
Measuring ocean currents and wave heights to support safer shipping, incident response and tsunami detection.
