ATMOS and REMObs PROJECTS
In this Antarctic summer of 2021/2022, ATMOS and REMObs projects joined together to set up
a complete system for monitoring the conditions of waves, winds and currents in the Antarctic
region. We expanded the data collection network in the “Frozen Continent”, with the deploying
of 3 mooring ondograph buoys, in addition to data collection through oceanographic stations,
launch of ondograph drifters and installation of meteorological stations near the Antarctic
Station Commander Ferraz. Here you can have access to data collected in real time by our
systems.
Managed by INPE's Laboratory for Ocean and Atmosphere Studies (LOA-OBT), ATMOS is a
promising science, technology and innovation initiative aimed at improving the
understanding of sea ice-atmosphere-ocean-wave interactions and the exchanges of
heat, momentum (amount of movement) and CO2 at their interfaces in the Southern
Ocean. It is a component project of PROANTAR and financed by
CNPq/MCTI/CAPES.
REMObs (REMO Observacional) project, a partnership between Brazilian Navy
Hydrography Center (CHM) and PETROBRAS, contemplates a joint effort for the
development and consolidation of a National Metocean Buoy (BMO-BR). And for
that, it also foresees the establishment of an operational data collection
network in the South Atlantic, a factor of great importance for the calibration
and validation of metoceanographic forecasting models.
