Increasing Occurrence of Tsunamis, Storm Surges, and Extreme Waves Boosts Europe Oceanographic Monitoring System Market
Weather forecasting relies heavily on data gathered from ocean observations. It provides early warning of threats such as tsunamis, storm surges, and high waves, which helps save lives and allows marine operators to remain efficient. There are frequent occurrences of natural phenomena such as tsunamis, storm surges, and extreme waves, which are creating the demand for oceanographic monitoring. For example, according to National Geographic, the majority of tsunamis, i.e., ~80%, occur along the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," a geologically active area where tectonic movements cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
The Hohai University in China led the first global trend study that examined long-term variations in the height and surface area coverage of ocean surface waves from tropical cyclones worldwide since 1979. Researchers discovered that the North Atlantic Ocean's coverage area of ocean waves caused by tropical cyclones grew by ~20% (167,000 km2 or the size of Florida State) every ten years. In January 2024, their findings were published in Nature Communications. The increasing occurrence of tsunamis and high rogue waves can cause huge damage, loss of life, and mass injuries. Thus, the increasing occurrence of hazards such as tsunamis, storm surges, and extreme waves drives the oceanographic monitoring system market.
Europe Oceanographic Monitoring System Market Overview
The Europe oceanographic monitoring system market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. Europe has a strong presence in offshore industries, including oil and gas exploration.
