Underway Displays


  • Mapserver - a real-time, web-based, GIS mapping and data tool - only available on the ship's internal website

The following displays can be viewed via the ship's TV system in the staterooms, lab spaces, and bridge or on the computer lab monitors.

  • OLEX , navigation/plotting software that can display real-time multi-beam depths in 2D or 3D, surface currents, wind direction/speed, and arrival times to waypoints. Routes and waypoints can be created or imported.
  • Labviews
  • Real-time Status - also available on the ship's internal website.
  • Pamguard monitors the acoustic environment around the ship
  • A Bridge Cam is located inside the bridge looking forward at the bow. It is capturing a time stamped, low resolution, .JPEG photo once every minute while the ship is underway. The images are included in the LDS. A live video stream from the camera is available on the ship's internal website and TV system.
  • A CCTV system displays views from network cameras placed throughout the ship. To change what is displayed, ask one of the marine science techs.
  • A Board of Lies is located across the public computer kiosk in the Main Lab. It is typically used to convey the Chief Scientist's Plan of the Day, the order of science operations or other pertinent information. A network camera sends a feed to the ship's internal website and the TV system.
