Ukusebenza kahle kohambo lomkhumbi kuncike ohlotsheni lwesimo sezulu solwandle esihlangabezana naso. Amagagasi, umoya, kanye nemisinga kudala ukumelana okumele umkhumbi ukunqobe ngokusebenzisa uphethiloli owengeziwe. Lokhu kuncipha kokusebenza kahle kuholela ekwandeni kwezindleko. Phakathi kwalezi zici, amagagasi angumthombo oyinhloko wokumelana nesimo sezulu okwengeziwe, okuholela ekuhambeni okungathandeki komkhumbi, njengokuphonsa nokugingqika.

Izinkampani zemikhumbi yemikhumbi ziya ngokuya zisebenzisa amapulatifomu okuthuthukisa uhambo ukuze kuncishiswe umthelela wesimo sezulu ekusetshenzisweni kukaphethiloli kanye nokukhishwa kwegesi emkhunjini. Noma kunjalo, eziningi zalezi zinkundla zisathembela ekubikezelweni kwesimo sezulu okujwayelekile okusekelwe ekubonweni kwesathelayithi. Kodwa-ke, ukuhlaziywa kwamuva okushicilelwe yi-Global Modeling and Assimilation Office ye-NASA kubonisa ukuthi ukubonwa okuqondile okuvela kuma-buoy akhukhulekayo kunomthelela omkhulu kunokubonwa kwesathelayithi.

Izibikezelo zesimo sezulu sasolwandle ze-Sofar zinembile kakhulu, ngokunemba okuphezulu okufika ku-40-50%. Lokhu kufezwa ngenethiwekhi yabo ebanzi yangasese yezinzwa zesimo sezulu sasolwandle olwandle, ezibizwa ngokuthi ama-Spotter buoys. I-Sofar iqoqa futhi ihlanganise ukubonwa kwansuku zonke okungaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.5 kusuka kunethiwekhi yayo yomhlaba wonke. Lokhu kufinyelelwa kwedatha okuphelele kunikeza ukuqonda ngezimo zesimo solwandle ezivame ukuba kude nokubonwa kwesathelayithi, kokubili ngokunemba kwendawo kanye nesikhathi.

Ukubonwa kwama-spotter kwama-wave spectra kubaluleke kakhulu, njengoba amagagasi akha umthombo oyinhloko wokumelana nesimo sezulu emikhunjini olwandle. Ukuhlanganisa lokhu okubonwayo kuthuthukisa kakhulu ukunemba kokubikezela kwe-Sofar, kuthuthukisa ukubikezela kokuphakama okukhulu kwamagagasi ngo-38% kanye nesikhathi samagagasi kanye nesiqondiso sawo kufika ku-45%.

Isixazululo se-Wayfinder sikaSofar sihlanganisa ngokungenaphutha izibikezelo zaso zezulu ezinembile kakhulu ukuze silungise amamodeli okusebenza kwemikhumbi, sinikeze ukulungiswa kohambo kwansuku zonke okuhloswe ukunciphisa izindleko eziphelele zohambo ngalunye. Ipulatifomu ye-Wayfinder ikhipha izincomo ze-RPM zansuku zonke futhi iphakamisa izindawo ezintsha zendlela noma nini lapho kutholakala inzuzo enkulu yomzila kusuka ezinketho eziningi ezingaba khona, ezibalelwa emakhulwini ezigidi. Isiqondiso se-Wayfinder sivula amathuba amakhulu okonga kulo lonke uhambo, konke lokhu ngenkathi kubhekwa ebhizinisini lomkhumbi kanye nemingcele yokuphepha.
