PlanktoSpace is a decision-support tool designed for marine researchers. It ensures that water sampling occurs exactly when an ocean-colour satellite is overhead.
1. The Dashboard & Map
Select your location via the map or snaps tools to begin. Once a location is queried, the data is persisted locally for offline review.
2. Analyzing Opportunities
The system performs real-time fusion of orbital data and weather forecasting, ranking results with an Opportunity Score (0-100).
3. Pass Details & Geometry
Tapping a pass reveals the exact Max Elevation, Azimuth, and Off-Nadir Angle required for mission planning.
4. Managing Data
Field campaigns are dynamic. Curate your schedule, save passes to your local database, and export data as JSON for cruise reports.
