White paper: Why deploying a network of marine sensing systems is the key to collecting ocean data at scale

Sofar Ocean

Marine sensing is in the midst of a strategic shift. To collect wave spectra and other in situ ocean data at scale, government, industry, and the research community are increasingly turning to networks of rapidly deployable marine sensing platforms and wave buoys. These  cost-effective systems seamlessly gather and transmit real-time ocean data, powering projects across  offshore industry, government, climate research, and more.

In this white paper, we explore this strategic shift in ocean monitoring and present case studies from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Kyoto University, and Luode Consulting. All three organizations  have successfully deployed distributed networks of marine sensing platforms to improve data collection and decision-making.
