Uncrewed Surface Vehicles Go Global: SUN Fleet Joins Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) as a New Emerging Network
A new emerging ocean observing network joins the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), marking a key step in expanding coordinated, global ocean surface observations. This fleet of Uncrewed Surface Vehicles, called SUN Fleet, is able to monitor numerous GOOS Essential Ocean Variables and measure important air-sea exchanges in remote areas and under harsh conditions.
