Key Benefit

Real-Time Ocean Observing Systems

Access live subsurface ocean data, metocean data and ocean current sensor measurements through a single scalable platform and ocean data API

Flexible Ocean Sensors at Scale

Deploy solar-powered Spotter buoys, autonomous Spotter Scout USVs, and smart mooring systems where fixed infrastructure isn't practical, from offshore wind sites to remote ocean environments.

ADCP Alternative

Replace costly traditional current profilers with a flexible lower-cost smart mooring system that delivers high-resolution subsurface ocean data and offshore current measurements without sacrificing quality observations from Sofar-deployed Spotters and customer Spotters shared to the network

Spotter Platform Use Case

Offshore Wind & Metocean Operations

Capture real-time metocean data, offshore wind metocean measurements and subsurface ocean data for site assessment, operations and regulatory compliance.

 Subsurface Ocean Monitoring

Deploy smart mooring systems with modular ocean current sensors to monitor underwater flow, temperature and pressure as an ADCP alternative for offshore monitoring programs

Ocean Intelligence & AI Modeling

Power next-generation ocean observing systems and AI ocean models with in situ ocean data from the world's largest autonomous ocean sensor network.,

Ocean Data API & Platform Integration

Stream real-time and historical observations directly into your custom dashboards, apps, and workflows via the Sofar ocean data API.
