Altimetry

• Measured in meters.
• Importance when setting the buoys and to determine possible fishing fronts.
• It is the ellipsoidal height of a point of the sea surface averaged over a long period of time.

Hot Tuna Points maps

• Higher fishing probability areas.

Oceanographic data (by buoy)

• Information in the water column at different depths: temperature, currents in depth and shear.
• It helps to decide in advance if going to a fishing area or not, in case the currents are strong and there is probability of breaking the fishing net.
• The forecast can be configured 1, 2 or 3 days in advance.
