• Conduction of oceanographic cruises using the hydrographic/oceanographic vessels of the H.N.H.S. for the assessment of the marine environment including the acquisition of physical, chemical and geological data for the areas of interest.
• Continuous measurement of sea level in Greek waters with tide gauges in a network of 21 permanent stations
• All data and information gathered is processed and used to support naval operations such as anti-submarine, mine and amphibious warfare
• Prediction of the wave field based on the prevailing wind speeds and directions in a specific area in order to provide the Ministry of Merhantile Marine with information to assess the navigational conditions for specific vessel types in different areas
• Digitization and statistical analysis of the sea level variations in the Greek sea area
• Participation in research projects
