Saildrone has deployed a vehicle with a specially designed wing to chase hurricane-strength winter storms in the North Pacific.

Two concurrent missions will cover some 2,500 kilometers of coastline from San Diego to Vancouver Island.

The National Data Buoy Center has replaced a moored weather buoy in a national marine sanctuary with a Saildrone USV to mitigate impacts caused by mooring material.

Saildrone and NOAA have been working closely to pioneer the use of autonomous technology for fisheries management and conservation.

Just how variable is CO2 uptake in the Southern Ocean in winter?

Data collected by a fleet of Saildrone unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) will inform this year’s Alaska pollock fish stock assessment.

In partnership with NOAA, Saildrone is going storm chasing in the Tropical Atlantic to collect data where it’s never been collected before—inside a hurricane.

NOAA Fisheries and the Bering Sea Fisheries Research Foundation have teamed up to track seasonal movements of Alaska red king crab using a Saildrone USV equipped with an acoustic receiver.

Two saildrones equipped with acoustic receivers located 34% of the Alaska red king crabs that were tagged by NOAA Fisheries in June.

To celebrate NOAA’s 50th anniversary, artist and conservationist Jim Toomey took his characters on a NOAA-themed adventure.
