Why ROFFS™ is Best: TECHNIQUE: Providing comprehensive fishing forecasting analyses is an intensive process that requires expertise in a variety of scientific disciplines including fisheries biology, physical oceanography, satellite remote sensing, image analysis, and computer science to name a few. ROFFS™ has developed advanced image analysis techniques, particularly when working with water motion and cloud reduction. This allows us to provide useful information more often than others. We do not limit our analyses to simple sea surface temperature contour maps, pretty color images, models, or altimetry data. Often a simple sea surface temperature map or a pretty color image will only provide a combination of cloud cover, other atmospheric effects (e.g. uneven humidity, fog, haze) and computer artifacts from automated processing of the satellite data. It certainly will not allow you to understand the subtle changes in the short-term history and motion of the ocean currents which are critical to fishing success. ROFFS™ integrates infrared, ocean color_chlorophyll, altimeter, radar, current meter, and meteorological data derived from national and international sources. We are focused on the highest spatial and temporal resolutions.
