There are satellite communication applications where it is desirable to predict near time (e.g. 2 to 12 h) propagation losses at Ka-band due to hydrometeor precipitation. We present results from a project investigating the possibility and quality of short term prediction of satellite link...

The SEATONOMY methodology provides a structured approach for design, development and validation of mobile autonomous maritime operations and systems. The goal is to achieve this by providing system developers of autonomous systems with suitable guidelines, principles, best practices and tools. The...

Satellite services in the High North are utilized extensively for both communication purposes and for earth and climate observations. This paper presents a European Space Agency (ESA) funded propagation and telecom measurements campaign addressing the main challenges for this regions. The interest...

This paper describes the main objectives and early achieved results from the MARENOR project. MARENOR is financed by the Research Council of Norway as well as Norwegian industry partners from oil and gas (EM survey company EMGS), fisheries (shipping company and shrimp trawler Remoy), positioning and...

The use of hydrodynamic modeling to optimize the placement of sensor nodes with respect to reduction of uncertainty in sea current modeling is demonstrated. This is done under the additional constraint that the nodes should constitute a connected underwater acoustic communication network. For the...

OSS is a real-time supervising concept for marine operations and management based on data assimilation and integrated measurements and models. OSS is composed of an underwater sensor network, communication links to computers running ocean models, computer ocean models and a data assimilation tool...
