Current Monitor™

Ocean Surface Monitor

sigma S6 Current Monitor™ is a radar-based monitoring system that delivers ocean surface current data from moving stations and bathymetry from fixed locations with high spatial resolution. This greatly improves the management of marine-based activities such as predicting oil slick drift patterns, enhancing navigational safety, and protecting vulnerable coastlines.

Real-time Current Data at your Fingertips

View the surface current measurements surrounding your operation at a glance, allowing you to make safe, and more informed decisions.

Each coloured box represents an area of down to 50m x 50m or as determined by the operator. The colour of the box indicates the speed of the current, while the arrow indicates the direction of the current.

BENEFITS

Stewardship

Having the ability to see surface currents in real-time and gather bathymetric data up to a 30m depth improves decision-making and planning for coastal marine and terrestrial assets. Dredging operations, new construction and oceanic science benefits from visually identifying and accurately measuring surface currents within X-band radar coverage.

Entering and Leaving Port

Reduce the risk associated with navigating in and around busy harbours and ports. With Current Monitor™ navigators can observe surface current action and make decisions and/or corrections to avoid or utilize surface current energy.

Aid Oil Clean-Up Operations

Pair with sigma S6 Oil Spill Detection to track oil on water during clean-ups, using valuable surface current information to determine optimal deployment of equipment. Better accuracy when tracking of oil slicks greatly improves prediction to better contain and clean up spills.

Traversing Waterways
With advanced situational awareness of surface currents, crews can mitigate the risk of navigating treacherous and challenging waterways. Up until now, surface current data was the largely unknown when navigating or working at sea. Current Monitor™ gives navigators valuable insight to improve decision-making.
Science and Research

Avoid high operational costs associated with in-water sensors for research projects. With virtually zero maintenance costs, projects that rely on public/private funding like coastal monitoring or harbour dredging can better manage expenditures.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Day or night, in varied conditions, sigma S6 Current Monitor™ gives mariners assurance in situations where precision and accountability are paramount. The more you know about your immediate environment, the better.
  • As a ‘bolt-on’ to most industry-standard marine radars, Current Monitor™ gives the user visibility into real-time ocean surface current and bathymetric information to optimize decision-making time.
  • Either an alternative to in-water systems or as a complement to buoys, Current Monitor™ requires no costly servicing.
  • Visualize surface current measurements surrounding your operation at a glance, allowing you to make safe, and more informed decisions.

FEATURES

Coastline Masking
Incorporates a world coastline map to eliminate false positive targets when operating near land.
sigma S6 Connect
A web-enabled interface which makes it possible to integrate all of your sigma S6 data into your external systems using open standards.
Infrared Camera Integration
Integration and control of IR cameras is facilitated through the Rutter SeaView interface. Features include the ability to support multiple cameras, intelligent selection of a best camera for specific targets, and automatic slewing to ice targets entering a guard zone. These features support quick decision making in addressing potential threats and possible interruptions to operations.
Round the Clock Coverage
The overall improvements in situational awareness provided by the sigma S6 system occur across a wide range of sea states, weather, and daylight conditions, providing tactical information essential for real time route planning and decision making.
