  1. Coastal Environmental Systems, Inc.Shipboard Weather Systems Collecting and Displaying Weather Data to Meet YOUR Needs

  2. Types of Shipboard Systems • Single Point • Can be WEATHERPAK®, ZENO® or C-5 SAM/NTM • WEATHERPAK® computes True Winds • No exposed cables • Multiple displays • NMEA 0183

  3. Types of Shipboard Systems • Single Point –Components • Ultrasonic winds • Relative humidity • Pressure • Temperature • Solar radiation • Rainfall • Visibility • (other sensors) • Display/Repeater • NMEA 0183 The U.S. Navy Seals’ Ships Use a Single Point WEATHERPAK®

  4. Types of Shipboard Systems • Dual Winds • Two WEATHERPAK®s or a ZENO® with two wind monitors • TRUE winds • Has “automatic upwind detection and reporting” • Partial or full duplication of sensors

  5. Types of Shipboard Systems • Dual Winds –Components • Ultrasonic or regular wind monitor • GPS/Compass • Pressure • Temperature • Relative humidity • Solar radiation • Rainfall • Visibility • Auto – upwind sensing • Manual override • Multiple displays • Repeaters/NMEA Boeing built radar platform uses dual WEATHERPAK®s U.S. Coast Guard Buoy Tenders use Dual WEATHERPAK® systems

  6. Types of Shipboard Systems • Multiple Points • Can be WEATHERPAK® and/or ZENO® • Ultrasonic or regular • GPS/Compass • Other sensors • Auto – upwind sensing • Manual override • Repeaters/NMEA • Sensors below deck • Water temperature • Conductivity • Water quality

  7. Types of Shipboard Systems • Multiple Points – Components • Port, Starboard, Aft – WEATHERPAK®s • Winds, pressure, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, rainfall, visibility, other • Sub-surface (below deck) ZENO®; salinity, water temperature, water quality, other • Multiple Displays • Database • NMEA-0183 This 3 point system is on a Cruise ship.

  8. NATO “ALLIANCE” An Example of a Multi-Point System Foremast with “Intelligent Sensor Interface” Met Sensor Suite • Multiple Points • WEATHERPAK® (2); winds, temperature, humidity, pressure • ZENO® (1) below deck; salinity, conductivity, water quality • Dual fiber optic communications • Multiple Interfaces

  9. US Navy – SMOOS Another Example of a Multiple-Point System Shipboard Meteorological and Oceanographic Observing System • Multiple Points • Winds – WEATHERPAK® • Cloud Height – stand alone • Visibility – ZENO® • Pressure – WEATHERPAK® • Relative humidity and air temperature – WEATHERPAK® • Sea and Sky Temp – ZENO® • (Other – varies per ship) • Multiple Interfaces

  10. Our shipboard weather stations

  11. Coastal Shipboard Weather StationsWEATHERPAK®, ZENO®, C-5 SAMTM • WEATHERPAK® True Winds Different types are: • Single point, • Dual point (port and starboard), • Multiple point (port, starboard, aft, below decks) • ZENO®: Relative Winds • Dual or multiple point (3-8 “stations”) • C-5 SAM/NTM: Relative Winds • Single point

  12. Coastal Shipboard Products WEATHERPAK® • Unique features of the WEATHERPAK® – Physical • WEATHERPAK® contains ALL the standard sensors and eliminates ALL cables and ALL connectors. (Cables and connectors are the weakest point on any marine system.) • WEATHERPAK® is Double O-Ring Sealed. All electronics are protected with this seal. There is NO desiccant to change out or any maintenance! • WEATHERPAK® external housing is constructed of MILITARY-STANDARD 6061-T6 anti-corrosive aluminum. • External housing is coated with a baked-on thermoplastic resin. • A WEATHERPAK® can be removed or replaced in service in less than 60 seconds. • Most sensors can be replaced or removed in less than 60 minutes. • EVERY wire in or out is protected from radar, radios and electrical interference.

  13. Coastal Shipboard ProductsWEATHERPAK® Unique features of the WEATHERPAK® – Functional • WEATHERPAK® can measure and calculate BOTH True and Relative Winds in any situation (using the built-in GPS and Compass combined) • Dual WEATHERPAK® systems can perform Auto-Upwind switching – so that the best data is always reported to the ship’s systems (manual override is also provided) • Other sensors can be added in addition to the standard; common add-on sensors are: Water temperature, Visibility, Solar radiation (global, long, short wave) • Compass is at top of WEATHERPAK® and not much affected by ship’s metal – but if necessary compass can be “swung” for calibration Shown with optional no-moving-parts wind sensor

  14. Coastal Shipboard Products WEATHERPAK® Unique features of the WEATHERPAK® – Software/firmware • WEATHERPAK® can be set to average data at any rate – typically it is set for a 5 second average • WEATHERPAK® has an auto-reboot if it encounters any problem during operation • Any sensor can be added at any time (follow manual instructions) • Firmware is optimized for weather and environmental measurements and calculations • Alarms can be set on any measurement or calculation • Can send out NMEA-0183, ASCII or other formats or several different formats to different ships systems • Supports repeaters

  15. Coastal Shipboard ProductsZENO® ZENO® is the best system for ships that conduct different ongoing research voyages • ZENO® is contained in a NEMA 4 enclosure • Enclosure allows easy access to wire new or temporary sensors • Firmware is easy to configure for new sensors – even serial sensors (RS-232, RS-485, ttl) • Sample rates/times/adjustments are simple and easy • Supports NMEA 0183 and repeaters • Does not do True Winds

  16. Coastal Shipboard ProductsC-5 SAM/NTM C-5 SAM/NTM is a good economical workhorse • Electronics sealed in aluminum enclosure • Enclosure is protected by baked on thermoplastic resin • Sensors integrated into a single sensor head • Performs a 5 second average of data • Comes with display, and can forward data in NMEA 0183 • Supports repeaters • Does not do True Winds
