STERLING, VA--(Marketwire - Nov 22, 2011) - Sutron Corporation (NASDAQ: [ STRN ]), a global leader in hydrological, meteorological, and oceanic monitoring products, systems, software and services, announced today that they received from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) four purchase orders totaling $1,260,765 for the "Supply, Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance of Tide Gauge Stations and Meteorological Stations for Mauritania, Cape Vert, Senegal and The Gambia under the MARINEMET Project -- Spanish West Africa Countries Cooperation Program."

Marinemet, a four-year (2009-2013) maritime meteorology pilot project includes four African coastal countries: Cape Vert, Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia. The Project's objective is to improve maritime meteorology knowledge and tools used by the meteorological services of these countries, with the intent of transferring knowledge and technology. Once the Project ends, participating countries will be autonomous in monitoring and forecasting maritime meteorology.

The Project is divided into two distinct parts -- 1) Knowledge Transfer and 2) Technology Transfer. Sutron Corporation has been chosen to supply Part 2 which includes Tide Gauges and Automatic Weather Stations.

Station distribution is as follows:

• Mauritania - one Tide Station and two Automatic Weather Stations
• Cape Vert - two Tide Stations and one Automatic Weather Station
• Senegal - two Tide Stations and one Automatic Weather Station
• Gambia - one Tide Station

Each Tide Station also includes all components of a complete Automatic Meteorological Station.

AEMET-Spain, in collaboration with the Spanish Ports Authority and Las Palmas University, are also key participants in this Project. The Sutron-provided Tide and Weather Monitoring Stations will transmit real-time data to AEMET, the Spanish Ports Authority and the University to become part of their Port Wave Forecasting Models.

In addition, Sutron will also supply four (4) years of Operation and Maintenance support.
