Trinidad and Venezuela
Horizon Marine, Inc. has been monitoring the North Brazil Current (NBC) and associated rings since September 2001. Utilizing surface drifters and satellite remote sensing, we have successfully tracked the formation, separation, and migration of 37 powerful rings that have shed from the NBC and forecasted their impact on operations offshore Trinidad. Horizon provides weekly reports, mid-week updates, and daily ‘Ring Alerts’ to clients advising them on the location, strength, and anticipated migration path of these NBC rings as part of our Eddy Watch – Trinidad/Venezuela service. The service is designed to be used as an operational tool, helping to facilitate the efficient planning and scheduling of operations to minimize downtime caused by excessive currents.
