Large Autonomous Laboratory Vessel to collect oceanic mega-data.
Most oceanographic data is collected today in one of three ways: by scientific research ships, drifting buoys, or satellites. Each of these three solutions, which work well together, has its own limitations. For example, the high operational costs of scientific exploration vessels mean that they can only be used for short periods of time and in limited areas of the ocean. Drifting buoys also limit the area that can be explored because their energy comes from the ocean currents, which also limits how long they can stay in place. Up to a ton of measuring tools can be carried by SphyrnaALVs. They make it possible to collect and send in real time at least 50 different kinds of data for the cost of one classic” scientific vessel.
