Red de Medición de Parámetros Oceanográficos y de Meteorología Marina

REDMPOMM provides Caribbean and Pacific meteo-marine data in real time.

Parameter Measurement System Oceanographic and Marine Meteorology – SMPOMM It is a system that allows for real-time meteo-marine data from the Colombian Caribbean and Pacific Seas. This monitoring system allows the observation of real-time data related to oceanic and atmospheric conditions of the «Colombian maritime territory», in order to provide information necessary to guarantee and safeguard human life in the various maritime and coastal activities carried out in the country. It is interconnected with weather stations, directional wave buoys and Metereo-oceanic buoys located in different national maritime points near major ports and coastal cities, which record data such as speed and direction of wind, temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, Sun radiation and sea state: direction and speed of currents up to 50 meters; period, height and wave direction, sea surface temperature, surface salinity. How to interpret the information of the wave’s direction and current? : When speaking of actual wave data measured by a buoy, wave direction indicates the direction of precedence (from which they come). In the case of the sea current, the address shown usually the propagation (where it goes). Using the application display system: It’s simple to use: just click on the map and choose an icon; This automatically display all the information about the current record of the place and forecasts for 24,36 and 48 hours, performed by Centers for Oceanographic and Hydrographic Research Cartagena and Tumaco.
