The data which has been collected by Maersk vessels since 2012 increases publicly available ocean weather data by 28 percent.
As explained, the goal is to aid climate research and weather forecasts by providing weather data from the world’s oceans, where ground level data coverage is slim, and most data comes from satellite observations which have their limitations.
Among other things, the observations can give a more precise picture of how surface-level ocean conditions and the interaction with the atmosphere have evolved since 2012.
