Temperature is one of the key variables in studying the ocean. A fiber-optic sensor can register significantly smaller temperature changes, roughly 30 times faster than existing commercial sensors.

Using a design inspired by one of the ocean's best sailors, a team of scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is developing a low-cost sensor for ocean observations. The sensors are ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has launched a program to develop affordable, environmentally friendly sensors to monitor ocean temperature, movement and other key data. (Graphic/DARPA) ...

The Ocean Observatories (OOI) Initiative uses a wide variety of ways to capture ocean data. In some cases, sensors are attached to buoys at the ocean's surface that are anchored to the seafloor. Some ...

It's so hot in Florida right now that the ocean temperature in one area just crossed into the triple digits. On Monday, a water temperature sensor in Manatee Bay near Everglades National Park recorded ...

In this module, a waterproof temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature and relay the measured temperature data to a Raspberry Pi. A software application implemented using the Python3 ...

A surprising technique has helped scientists observe how Earth’s oceans are changing, and it’s not using specialized robots or artificial intelligence. It’s tagging seals. Several species of seals ...

A coalition of local water safety organizations has revived a previously decommissioned sensor at the Santa Monica Pier to provide updated data as part of a Federal ocean monitoring program. Divers ...

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) can have negative consequences for both marine life and human health, so it can be helpful to have early warning of when they’re on the way. Algal blooms deep below the ...
