Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are advanced oceanography tools that enhance research and exploration by autonomously collecting data in remote and hazardous environments. These vehicles can dive to great depths and cover large areas, providing high-resolution data on oceanographic features, marine life, and underwater ecosystems.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are essential for exploring the deep ocean and conducting detailed inspections and sampling in areas that are difficult for human divers to reach. These tools are equipped with cameras, sensors, and manipulator arms, allowing researchers to study and collect samples from the ocean floor.
Satellite Remote Sensing
Satellite remote sensing technology provides a global perspective on oceanographic processes, including sea surface temperature, ocean color, and sea level changes. This tool enables researchers to monitor and analyze large-scale ocean phenomena and their impact on climate and marine ecosystems.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs)
ADCPs are used to measure ocean currents and water column properties by emitting acoustic signals and analyzing their reflections. These instruments provide valuable data for understanding ocean circulation patterns, tidal dynamics, and the movement of marine organisms.
