Applications of Anemometers in Maritime and Oceanography

This article provides an overview of the relationship between maritime and oceanography, highlighting the crucial role of anemometers in these fields. Maritime studies encompass various subjects such as maritime law, shipping economics, and marine engineering, while oceanography focuses on the scientific study of the ocean’s physical, chemical, biological, and geological characteristics.

 

GAO Tek’s anemometers, referred to by various names such as Wind gauge and Vane anemometer, find applications in maritime and oceanography. These applications include climate research, ocean circulation studies, wave studies, turbulence research, air-sea interaction studies, navigation, ship performance monitoring, marine engineering, port operations, and weather forecasting.

 

The article emphasizes compliance with maritime and oceanography standards, such as IEC 60945 and ISO 17713-1, as well as government regulations in North America (NOAA, USCG, FAA, EPA), Canada (Transport Canada, CCG), Mexico (SEMAR, SMN), and Europe (EU, EASA). Case studies demonstrate practical examples of using anemometers in various scenarios, including hurricane monitoring, offshore wind energy assessment, and research on air-sea interactions.

 

GAO Tek has facilitated the use of anemometers with leading software and cloud services, contributing to applications like offshore wind energy assessment, marine weather and safety monitoring, and ocean data visualization. The article emphasizes the company’s commitment to meeting customer demands through a wide choice of products and fast delivery.

 

GAO Tek’s presence in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe ensures strong local support, and the company collaborates with service providers like Kongsberg Maritime and Fugro.
