Integrate wave data into port management software or under-keel clearance calculation systems to ensure that vessels move and moor safely, and that pilot boarding operations proceed safely.
Optimize onsite work conditions
Establish baseline measurements for turbidity and other key metrics to know when — and when not — to initiate dredging, seabed mapping, and environmental assessment projects.

Smart Mooring
Easily integrate a Temperature and/or a Pressure sensor with Spotter as a hub for power and connectivity. No configurations needed: just connect and access your Smart Mooring data right away from our API and dashboard.
With Smart Mooring, anyone from a citizen scientist to a natural resource manager can equip Spotter with any combination of sensors in the water column for immediate access to that data.
Case Study: USGS/NOAA Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecast
Next-generation real-time oceanographic instrumentation
USGS is deploying Smart Moorings to collect real-time water level data. This information will be used to assess the skill of the USGS/NOAA Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecast, which provides real-time forecasts of water levels and coastal change along nearly 3,000 miles of the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic coasts.
