Updated layers • daily-ready workflow • coastal context
See the ocean,
understand the coast.
The Brazilian Sea Observatory (BSO) is a coastal monitoring experience designed to bring together operational ocean forecasts, satellite views, in-situ measurements, and maritime context—so decisions near the Brazilian coast can be faster, clearer, and safer.
Forecasts currents • waves • sea level
Satellite quick synoptic view
In-situ local validation
Operational focus
Coastal conditions and nearshore context
Multi-source
Model + satellite + observations
Decision-ready
Ports • safety • environment
What the observatory provides
One place to explore ocean conditions with a practical, coastal-first viewpoint.
Coastal intelligence
Track currents, waves, sea level, temperature, and other layers commonly used for coastal operations and planning.
Observation + forecast context
Compare what models predict with what satellites and in-situ networks observe, whenever those layers are available.
WebGIS-first workflow
Map and chart exploration designed for non-specialists: fast layer toggles, point readouts, and time-aware views.
Data layers & monitoring products
Choose the views you need—then build consistent habits around coastal monitoring.
Typical layers (examples)
• Surface currents (speed/direction)
• Significant wave height & period
• Sea surface temperature (SST)
• Sea level / storm surge indicators
• Ocean color / chlorophyll (where available)
• Vessel positions / maritime context (where available)
Operational monitoring (how teams use it)
• Daily “coastal check” before operations
• Event monitoring (storms, swells, anomalies)
• Port approach & scheduling support
• Aquaculture and coastal industry planning
• Environmental response: spill drift scenarios (if enabled)
Who uses coastal observatories
Use cases below are written to fit a sea-observatory portal and stay broadly applicable across Brazil.
Ports & navigation
Wave and current awareness helps optimize safety windows and reduce operational uncertainty near channels and terminals.
Coastal economy
Nearshore conditions matter for fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, and shoreline infrastructure planning.
Risk & response
Rapid understanding of sea state supports preparedness for extreme waves, surges, and environmental incidents.
