The Project

Capturing thermal-wave behaviour beneath the surface.

The Requirement

Monitor temperature variations across a significant vertical section of the Bay of Bengal
Record data simultaneously across multiple channels
Support continuous observation over several days
Operate reliably in an offshore marine environment

EMCON’s Solution

Developed a 120-metre temperature sensor array
Enabled multi-channel temperature data acquisition
Deployed the system for continuous field observations
Recorded thermal-wave data that the company profile describes as the first such detection from the Bay of Bengal
