Satellite Remote Sensing
Satellite remote sensing allows for the monitoring of ocean surface temperatures, sea level rise, and changes in ice cover. This tool provides valuable data for understanding the impact of climate change on the world's oceans.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are equipped with sensors to measure ocean temperature, salinity, and currents at various depths. These vehicles can collect data in remote and inaccessible areas, providing crucial information for climate change research.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs)
ADCPs measure ocean currents and water velocities, offering insights into how climate change affects ocean circulation patterns. These instruments are essential for understanding the dynamics of the ocean and its response to environmental changes.
Moored Buoy Systems
Moored buoy systems are equipped with sensors to measure sea surface temperature, air-sea interactions, and ocean carbon uptake. These buoys provide continuous, real-time data for studying the long-term impacts of climate change on the ocean.
Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) Sensors
CTD sensors measure the physical properties of seawater, including temperature, salinity, and pressure. These measurements are crucial for understanding the ocean's response to climate change and its role in regulating the Earth's climate system.
