| dc.description | Exploring the ocean is an expensive and laborious process with research vessels. Dr. Tracy Villareal is using the Wave Glider 'Honey Badger' as a practical alternative. New technologies allow autonomous vehicles like the Honey Badger to remotely detect numerous oceanographic parameters, provide near-real time data streams, and respond quickly to events via satellite linked pilots. The Honey Badger, shown with its Hawaii support team at Liquid Robotics, is equipped to measure weather, sea state, temperature, salinity, two types of phytoplankton pigments, phytoplankton health, fluorescent organic material as well as record images of phytoplankton using a holographic imaging system. All but the imaging data is available in near-real time on our website at http://oceanview.pfeg.noaa.gov/MAGI/# | en |
