Aanderaa, a Xylem brand, is a technology provider of oceanographic sensors, instruments and systems which are able to measure environmental parameters such as wave, current and water quality (Dissolved Oxygen, Salinity, Temperature, Depth and Turbidity) over long deployments, several years.

Data analysis is an important stage in all environmental monitoring campaigns. In many situations, users have to download and filter through large data quantities for analyses. DataStudio3D is a free data analysis software available to Aanderaa SeaGuard and SmartGuard users.

To aid in data analysis, Aanderaa has developed their own propriety software, DataStudio3D which allows users to download field data and plot them on different graphical plots. This mode of data analysis can be carried out within minutes to help user to compare parameters, view trends, anomalies, and to control the data quality.
