The Expendable Current Profiler (XCP) is an oceanographic instrument designed to measure the vertical profile of ocean currents from the sea surface to several hundred meters depth. According to the…
Comprehensive monitoring of ocean conditions is an important component in understanding oceanographic dynamics, global climate change, and ocean-atmosphere interactions. The Argo program has become one of the milestones in the…
Vertical profile data in oceanography usually refers to measurements of ocean properties (e.g., temperature, salinity, density) against depth (from the surface downwards). These instruments are important because the vertical structure…
Global climate change and the complexity of ocean dynamics demand continuous, accurate, and wide-scale oceanographic monitoring. Ocean data on temperature, salinity, and currents are essential to understand air–sea interactions, biogeochemical…
Tsunamis are among the deadliest natural disasters because they occur suddenly and can strike coastal areas within minutes of an undersea earthquake. Countries along the Pacific Ring of Fire, such…
Profiling buoys are oceanographic observation platforms that can move vertically through the water column to measure parameters such as temperature, salinity, pressure, currents, and biogeochemical properties. Unlike fixed surface buoys…
Waverider Buoy is a specialized oceanographic instrument designed to accurately measure wave characteristics at sea. It is typically a spherical or disc-shaped floating device that follows the motion of the…
The ocean has an important role in the global climate system, with oceanographic parameters such as current, temperature, and salinity interacting with each other in shaping the dynamics of the…
Drifting buoys are an important marine innovation that has changed the way we monitor and understand ocean dynamics. They serve not only as data collectors, but also as a window…
Sea Glider is an underwater vehicle technology designed to conduct observation and data collection from the sea in an efficient and sustainable manner. Unlike other underwater vehicles such as submarines…
