Accelerating the availability of critical ocean information.

Ocean information transmission and analysis is crucial to storm forecasting, climate modeling, ecological sustainability, building the blue economy, and naval operations. Hefring is putting the capability to collect high quality information in more hands – from single scientist users to institutions desiring to deploy large fleets with greater coverage.

See Oceanscout at COVE Demo Day 2023!

We will be at COVE Demo Day with Oceanscout on display. Since COVE’s demonstration areas were too shallow or not visible enough for a glider demonstration, weather permitting, we will be communicating with a live glider, Gimli, with our mission control software while he is swimming in the ocean offshore our facility in Gloucester, MA. Come see Oceanscout Gimli as he follows the mission we plan and sends us CTD and passive acoustic information. Get a feel for the software and how easy setting up your own glider mission can be!

Live webinar! Learn how passive acoustic measurements work

Chris Jones, acoustician and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) subject matter expert presents a tutorial on how PAM works under water, including applications in marine mammal monitoring, wind and rain measurements, and shipping activity. He will describe the components of PAM systems, explain how measurements are made and various platforms used, and discuss what it takes to ensure good quality measurements.
