LOG_aFlow® is an highly sophisticated ADCP™ Data Evaluation Software elaborated for complex hydrodynamic flow analysis. Based on Euler’s two-dimensional stream function-vorticity-formulation, LOG_aFlow® describes the only way to get real flow charts – even in tidal affected regions. It quickly generates flow charts, which indicate velocity, vorticity (turbulence) and data quality on every point of time and location within the investigation area.

Due to the software’s clearly arranged structure in an easy to handle Windows™ – giving vital support to the user – the operation always succeeds in quality and time.

LOG_aFlow® facilitates manifold application, as there are:

• Flow charts in harbours, rivers and coastal zones, optimal in tidal waters
• Maneuvering assistance for ship safety
• Pilot- and accompanying surveying in hydraulic engineering
• Environmental monitoring
• Optimising the choice of location for fish farms in aquaculture industries
• Discharge calculation for every cross sectional area

LOG_aFlow® became standard in many harbours and institutions.

Metocean Services International, a company for the global provision of metocean services, was launched at the beginning of September 2003. The company brings together a management team with over 30 years of experience in the offshore oil and gas industry.

With access to the latest state of the art equipment, MSI provides the entire range of oceanographic and meteorological services to the offshore oil & gas market, coastal engineers, dredging companies, port authorities etc. These include, inter alia, physical measurement services, desktop studies, data processing / reporting and weather forecasting.

The core MSI portfolio of services includes:

• Project Management - Full Project Management of all aspects of metocean projects internationally.
• Oceanographic Data Collection - Collection of current, wave and tidal data in all water depths, along with the collection of water and sediment samples for analysis. This includes logging and real-time measurement systems.
• Meteorological Data Collection - Collection of the full complement of meteorological parameters, both onshore and offshore, for operational and design purposes.
• Data Processing & Analysis - Data quality control, processing, analysis and reporting using Matlab-based suite of software, presenting results in any client determined format.
• Desktop Studies - Review of existing data in the form of a desktop study can provide a cost effective alternative or precursor to a physical measurement program.
• Software and Database Development and Hosting - MSI Matlab-based software suite (including both acquisition and processing components) is continually being developed in order to meet the changing needs of our clients. The database capability facilitates the storage of clients’ metocean data in a format that is easy to understand and manipulate.
• Weather Forecasting - Provision of accurate weather forecasts globally in support of offshore operations. Variables forecast typically include wind (speed and direction), air temperature, barometric pressure and waves (height, period and direction)

Our SBE-37-SI MicroCAT is a high accuracy, conductivity and temperature (pressure optional) sensor without batteries or memory (powered and commanded to sample by the host). It is easily integrated with current meters, moored instruments, remotely operated vehicles, AUVs, and Mini-subs. The MicroCAT can be deployed to 7000 meters and is constructed of titanium and other non-corroding materials to minimize maintenance and ensure long life.

Our SBE-37-SM MicroCAT is a self-contained, autonomous recorder (fully independent, without a need for a host) that offers a "serial line sync" sampling mode. This sampling mode was developed after consultation with RDI to provide an easy way to synchronize MicroCAT sampling with RDI ADCP™ sampling. The serial line sync mode works on both RS-232 and RS-485.

Webb Research is proposing a shallow water tethered vehicle that may be attached to bottom mounted ADCP™ "moorings" the vehicle will periodically ascend to the surface profiling physical and or Biological variables versus pressure (using third party instrumentation). At the surface this vehicle will relay these data in addition to an optional subset of ADCP™ data by a telemetry method best suited to the location and message length.

The device is intended to profile from a maximum depth of 30 meters, and it is anticipated that that the device will profile daily for 6 months on a single charge of propellant.

Please contact Geoff Morrison with suggestions and or comments.
