At the land of the sun. . .
Fortaleza – Ceará - Brazil
But, why in Fortaleza ?
PORSEC 2016 – Fortaleza-CE - Brazil
Our belief is that the PORSEC 2016, in Fortaleza, taking into account the current socialpolitical-economical situation of the country and the state of Ceará, arouse the interest
of our region and its potential for oceanographic research-related studies, which
includes satellite oceanography.
PORSEC 2016 – Fortaleza-CE- BRAZIL
We emphasize that at this time, when the country has been systematically allocating
resources to ocean studies and outlining strategic policies for the Atlantic Ocean, the
PORSEC 2016, if held in Fortaleza, can bring to the workshop attendants major
contributions to these discussions, since the city ​seems to have a strong synergy with
the oceans. Furthermore, here in the sunshine state, the PIRATA Project was conceived.
It is one of the boldest oceanographic projects designed to monitoring the Tropical
Atlantic at near real time. It was designed in 1995 in Fortaleza, during the IPCC meeting,
in partnership with the United States of America and France:
N/O ANTARES (DHN)
PIRATA (Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Atlantic).
Brazilian Ship in mission in order to make
PIRATA’s boy maintenance.
