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.

ACCESS AND MANAGE DATA
User-uploaded data can be shared broadly with the AO community, or access can be limited through permissions management. AO can store many versions of data, as well as visualized or non-visualized files and raw data.
LEVERAGE OCEAN KNOWLEDGE
Interact with 2D and 3D ocean data sets from around the world and narrow results by location and time period. Metadata associated with each data source is cataloged and contributes to the robust search features within AO.
