AUV for research

摘要

The Physical Oceanography Group (PhOG) of University of Maine, School of Marine Sciences, USA, has purchased an Iver2 AUV for research programmes. Professor Neal Pettigrew's PhOG research unit has operated an array of oceanographic real-time data buoys and an HF radar network as an integrated ocean observing system (IOOS) in the Gulf of Maine since 2001. They plan to use the Iver2 to extend and verify observations from the buoy array and to carry out detailed surveys as part of their new Maine Center for Autonomous Marine Surveys (MCAMS).
