Oceanographic Information Service

Satlink’s Oceanographic Information Service, provides near real-time, ocean data to help commercial fishing captains quickly identify where fish are likely to concentrate. Commercial fishing vessels around the world use this service to minimize search time, reduce operational costs and increase catch rates. Satlink’s easy-to-use free software, ELB Program Manager, features different map layers that combine inputs including, high-resolution ocean satellite imagery, weather forecasts and gear tracking (when using Satlink’s ILL+ Longline Buoy) that create actionable intelligence.

Questions and Answers

Where do the Oceanographic Data in the ELB3010 Manager come from?

The Oceanographic Data in the ELB3010 Manager are sourced from Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service.

Are they satellite data?

A. The Oceanographic Data in the ELB3010 Manager are the product of a mathematical model of the ocean that assimilates data from satellites and other observations obtained in situ. This means that, even though the data include satellite observations, they are not the direct product of them.

Is satellite data more useful than a model?

A. Satellite observations and models both provide valuable information. However, by using a model, we can provide data for the entire water column (at different depth layers), predictive data and data for zones where clouds normally block the line of sight of satellites. What is more, the models used in the ELB3010 Manager software combine satellite data and observations obtained in situ (from buoys etc.) to continually update them and check their accuracy.

How are you able to include predictive or forecasted data?

A. Given that the some of the Oceanographic Data in the ELB3010 software are derived from a mathematical model of the ocean instead of direct satellite observations, we can provide a three-dimensional representation of the past, current and future state of the ocean. This means that, by using historical data in combination with information on fluid dynamics and the current state of the ocean, we can predict its future conditions

How much is the subscription?

A. The fees for a longline vessel are $350 a month! There is no
prorating of the subscription fee.

How do I get started?

A. Complete the Free Trial Request Form below. We’ll reply via email with the subscription agreement, complete, sign and return it. Then we’ll send a link to download the latest version of the ELB Manager software to your vessel’s PC. We’ll schedule a quick zoom call to help with the configuration of the software so you can download the ocean maps and buoy data to the ELB Manager.
