NSF Grants $53 Million to Create a Global Fleet of Robotic Floats to Monitor Ocean Health

Scripps News (October 29th 2020)

Scripps Institution of Oceanography is one of five research institutions to assist in the creation of the new Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array, an NSF-funded expansion of biogeochemical ocean monitoring with autonomous floats. "It's an evolution of how we're observing the ocean," says Lynne Talley, Scripps professor and co-principal investigator on the project. Scripps scientists will be building new floats and coordinating their deployments, producing readily-available data for researchers across the globe.
