Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are advanced oceanography tools that can operate independently to collect data on ocean depths and currents. They are equipped with sensors and navigational systems to map the seafloor and measure water properties.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are remotely controlled underwater robots that can explore ocean depths and currents with high-definition cameras and sampling equipment. They are used for conducting detailed surveys and inspections in challenging underwater environments.
Satellite Altimetry
Satellite altimetry is a technology that uses radar to measure the height of the ocean surface, providing valuable information about ocean currents and sea level changes. This data is crucial for understanding global ocean circulation patterns.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs)
ADCPs are instruments that use sound waves to measure water currents at different depths. They are mounted on ships or moorings to provide detailed information about ocean circulation and tidal movements.
