How does FleetLink work?
Real-time data are collected and autonomously telemetered from commercial fishing and oceanographic research vessels to a shore-based data server and are accessible via the data menu button. more...
Display and analysis of FleetLink data
The FleetLink distributed database is easy to use and search, and seeks to maintain up-to-date data archives. Simple tools for data visualization and analysis are available on the database website. Some sample plots of existing climate data may be viewed. more...
