Saildrone launches Gulf Stream carbon-exchange mission
A Saildrone vehicle began a 30-day Atlantic mission measuring air–sea heat and carbon exchange in the Gulf Stream.
Evidence notes
- The payload included a NOAA-developed carbon-dioxide sensor.
- The mission studied heat and carbon transfer between ocean and atmosphere.
- The campaign used an uncrewed surface vehicle for sustained offshore measurements.
Company context
Saildrone builds and operates uncrewed surface vehicles for maritime intelligence, ocean mapping, ISR and environmental monitoring. Its platforms combine wind or solar power, onboard sensing and autonomy for long-endurance ocean missions.
