Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are unmanned, self-propelled vehicles that can navigate underwater without human intervention. They are equipped with sensors and cameras to collect data on ocean conditions, marine life, and seabed topography.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are tethered underwater robots controlled by operators on the surface. They are used for tasks such as deep-sea exploration, sample collection, and maintenance of underwater infrastructure.
Satellite Remote Sensing
Satellites equipped with sensors can monitor ocean surface temperatures, currents, and biological productivity from space. This technology provides a broad-scale view of ocean conditions and changes over time.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs)
ADCPs use sound waves to measure water currents and turbulence. They are commonly used to study ocean circulation, tidal flows, and the movement of marine organisms.
Multi-beam Sonar Systems
Multi-beam sonar systems use sound waves to create detailed maps of the seafloor and detect underwater features such as ridges, canyons, and shipwrecks. They are essential for understanding the topography of the ocean floor.
