Case Study: ARGOSS achieves rapid, reliable global environmental data analysis with Rogue Wave Software's PV-WAVE

ARGOSS Uses PV-WAVE® to Develop Interactive Global Database of Environmental Information

ARGOSS, a leader in coastal mapping and marine information services, needed a reliable way to standardize and analyze large, inconsistent environmental datasets so subscribers could access accurate offshore and near‑shore forecasts. To build interactive web services (waveclimate.com, tidal-info.com, routeclimate.com) and perform on‑the‑fly statistical analysis, ARGOSS used PV-WAVE from Rogue Wave Software to normalize data and deliver robust visualization and analysis tools.

Rogue Wave Software’s PV-WAVE was implemented as the core analysis and server engine (GUI, CGI interface, database access, and offline validation), enabling ARGOSS to process a global archive spanning over 20 years, run near‑real‑time five‑day forecasts, and provide subscribers with joint probability distributions, histograms and Weibull curves on demand. The solution delivered measurable benefits — faster development and time to market, high computational speed and stability, and a reliable internet service that avoided application failures while improving the quality and accessibility of environmental data.
