Abstract
Accurate data are essential for developing climate models and weather forecasts used in planning offshore E&P operations. A new remotely controlled, autonomous marine vehicle has been developed to carry a variety of sensors for conducting detailed meteorological and oceanographic surveys across vast distances and under extreme conditions. The role of this new sensor platform is expanding to support an even broader range of missions.
