About SANDS

SANDS Professional incorporates unrestricted access to the tools and features within SANDS Viewer and SANDS Asset. It provides a powerful facility through which input data can be analysed to establish links between forcing and response.

It also allows weather and shore condition data to be entered, stored, inspected and compared.
