Earth from space — North Caspian sea ice during winter
Metocean · Sea Ice · Environmental Intelligence

Environmental for the Caspian winter.

From sea ice on the North Caspian to weather radar over the steppe — Canatec-Eurasia runs the full chain: observation → integration → forecasting → decision support.

The platform

From orbit to operations room.

We don't just publish forecasts — we run an end-to-end environmental intelligence workflow tuned for the harshest seasons of the Eurasian winter. Satellite, radar, buoys and met masts feed a unified data platform; forecasters and AI turn raw observations into routing decisions, alerts and design statistics.

01 · Observe

Buoys, met masts, weather radar, marine sensors and satellites form an integrated observation network across the Caspian, steppe and Arctic.

02 · Integrate

Real-time ingestion, QC, fusion and storage in a unified environmental data platform — ready for analytics and forecast assimilation.

03 · Forecast

Numerical weather, wave, ice and air-quality forecasts. Hindcasts, design statistics, ensembles and tactical short-range nowcasts.

04 · Decide

Alerts, briefings, route advisories and dashboards delivered to operations rooms — risk turned into action.

Sea Ice Intelligence

The Caspian's most demanding season — made navigable.

The North Caspian freezes for up to five months a year. Our sea-ice service combines SAR satellite data, in-situ buoys and numerical ice models to deliver the operational intelligence Caspian operators need from first ice to break-up and melting.

  • Daily ice concentration & thickness charts (SAR-based)
  • 72-hour ice drift & deformation forecasts
  • Ridging, rubble and stamukha hazard mapping
  • Ice-class route advisories for the North Caspian
  • Break-up & freeze-up date probabilities
  • Climatology, return periods & design ice loads

Integrated Observation Network

Buoys, masts, radar and satellites — one fused stream.

We design, deploy and operate atmospheric and marine measuring networks across the Caspian and Central Asia, fusing field observations with space-based sensing and a modern data platform. Reserved capacity supports our roadmap toward a full Environmental Digital Twin.

Integrated environmental observation network

Marine sensors

Wave buoys, ADCPs, CTDs, ice-mass-balance buoys and met-ocean platforms.

Atmospheric network

AWS stations, ceilometers, radiosondes, weather radar and PM/gas air-quality monitors.

Space segment

Sentinel-1/3, RADARSAT, MODIS, VIIRS and tasked commercial SAR.

AI fusion layer

ML-assisted QC, data assimilation, gap-filling and anomaly detection.

Who we are

Scientific rigor.
Operational discipline.

Canatec-Eurasia is a Metocean and Environmental Operations Platform serving the Caspian, Central Asia, the Arctic and adjacent regions. We combine deep technical specialisation with cross-discipline collaboration to deliver data, forecasts and decision support — not just consulting reports.

Three integrated technical pillars — ocean, ice & metocean, geotechnical engineering and remote sensing & AI — work together to solve specific, high-consequence problems.

Headquartered in Almaty with offices in Astana and Atyrau, with collaborative relationships at Nazarbayev University and KIMEP.
