Ocean Data at Your Fingertips










Absolute Ocean (AO) is Terradepth’s easy-to-use, cloud-native, geospatial data management solution, providing ocean data visualization, analysis and collaboration to internal and external stakeholders. AO can be leveraged to concurrently manage existing customer-owned data sets while accessing data provided by Terradepth or other third parties.

Better and Faster Ocean Decisions

Facilitate analysis and collaboration through intuitive exploration while increasing operational efficiency and the quality control process.

The Value of AO

COLLABORATE EFFICIENTLY

Easily communicate with all stakeholders inside and outside the organization, without a GIS expert or complex tool. Seamlessly share precise views of any survey data in AO with a colleague.

ANALYZE DATA

Determine elevation, measure distances and areas, and view the profile line of terrain with easy-to-use tools. Efficiently compare old and new survey results with historical and current data sets in the same solution.
