The ESL is a satellite data receiving station and image processing facility for environmental data from six unique earth observing sensor systems. We specialize in real-time access to satellite imagery and measurements of the atmosphere, oceans and coastal areas within the Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean Sea region, data which we obtain directly from satellite transmissions to three antennas on LSU rooftops. These data have many applications for research, education, and state emergency response.

More Information
WAVCIS (wave current surge information system) is a monitoring system in the Gulf of Mexico comprised of meteorological, oceanographic instruments mounted on oil platforms. The data are received at LSU via satellite. A second component of the data involves oceanographic and meteorological data computed using high-powered computers at LSU's Coastal Studies Institute, School of the Coast and Environment. Information is obtained from offshore on a real-time basis and is available worldwide on the web. Oil spill responders, State and Federal agencies are utilizing the data extensively.
