Ocean Exploration Trust deploys Spotter buoys across Pacific expeditions
Ocean Exploration Trust expanded deployment of Sofar Ocean Spotter buoys to collect open marine-weather observations across Pacific expeditions.
Evidence notes
- The partnership began with three Spotter buoys deployed from E/V Nautilus during a 2019 voyage to American Samoa.
- By the dated report, Spotters had been deployed on multiple expeditions to collect wave and meteorological observations.
- The observations expanded Sofar's global sensor network and were made accessible for ocean-weather and climate forecasting.
